Mr. R. C. Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what further remedies are open to individuals who have their complaints against local authorities upheld by the local government commissioner and then find that the local authority concerned refuses to accept the recommendations of the commissioner.
§ Mr. John SilkinWhere maladministration is found, it is for the local authority concerned to take such action as it thinks appropriate in the light of the Local Government Commissioner's report. If the Commissioner is not satisfied with the action that the authority has taken, he may make a further report. But responsibility still lies with the authority, which is accountable to its electors.
