b'The power to construct buildings and works is specifically excluded (other than to the limited extent provided for above), and a local authority is also prohibited from being supplied with any property, or provided with any service, unless that supply related to a function of the local authority conferred by another Act. The Act specifically enables agreements to include provisions as to charging and other terms that are considered appropriate. The public bodies to which the above supplies and services can be provided are as set out in the Appendix to this guide. Note that significant amendments to the above provisions have been made in relation to Scotland only by the Local Government in Scotland Act 2003it remains unamended in relation to England and Wales. The Local Authorities (Goods and Services) (Public Bodies) (England) Order 2014 (SI 2014/1197) is an interesting provision which came into force on 1 June 2014. The Order designates specified Community Rehabilitation Companies in England and the National Probation Service as public bodies for the purposes of section 1 of the Local Authorities (Goods and Services) Act 1970. The designation meant that they are entitled to enter into agreements for the supply of goods and services. However, the provision prevented the bodies from supplying services other than legal, occupational health, health and safety, human resources or accounting services, or a combination of these services, which are of a kind previously provided by some local authorities to some probation trusts. This meant that, for a short period, local authorities had the opportunity to enter into agreements with Community Rehabilitation Companies and the National Probation Service on a commercial basis in the same way as they may with other local authorities. However, the provision was only enacted for a short period and came to an end on 30 June 2015, so that any agreements entered into ceased to have effect from that date. A treasure trove of local authority charging powers is to be found in section 11 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 (the 1976 Act), which enables a local authority to: (a)produce heat or electricity or both; (b)establish and operate such generating stations and other installations as the authority thinks fit for the purpose of producing heat or electricity or both; (c)buy or otherwise acquire heat; (d)use, sell or otherwise dispose of heat produced or acquired by the authority by virtue of this section; (e)without prejudice to the generality of the preceding paragraph, enter into and carry out agreements for the supply by the authority, to premises within or outside the authoritys area, of such heat as is mentioned in the preceding paragraph and steam produced from and air and water heated by such heat. Sub-section 11(3) states that except in such cases as may be prescribed, a local authority shall not be entitled to sell electricity which is produced otherwise than in association with heat. Under section 11(4) the authority can construct, lay and maintain pipes and associated works for the convenience of such heat, steam and water. 103'
