I agree with ananoman in theory. If the GS fails, you'd go missed. If you were cleared for the ILS, you weren't cleared for the LOC approach. They are two seperate approaches and are now being assigned on two seperate approach plates.

If you're flying a PA, you cant just decide to fly a NPA. The LOC approach typically has several step down fixes so to descend down to your MDA after GS failure, may set off a MSAW. I'd suggest going missed and setting up for the NPA (LOC) approach.
