To date, the Government has taken the view that failures need to be very serious (and not narrowly focused on one single function) to warrant removing control from an independent council, which is run by locally elected representatives.</p><p>For a single function such as library services, the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964 provides the Secretary of State with a statutory power to intervene by calling a local enquiry when a library authority fails, or is suspected of failing, to provide a comprehensive and efficient library service.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 15/11/2016 17:18:33 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
