§ 75. Sir E. CORNWALLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the details of the £1,001,000, paid by the British Government to the Anglo-Persian Oil Company will be submitted to the Comptroller and Auditor-General for examination and report?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe accounts of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company are not audited by the Comptroller and Auditor-General but by their own auditors. The Treasury has power under Clause 7 of the Agreement to appoint such person or persons as they may approve for the purpose of investigating the accounts and affairs of the company.
§ Sir E. CORNWALLWhen will Parliament have any opportunity of reviewing this expenditure of either a million or two millions?
§ Mr. McKENNAPerhaps the hon. Member will give notice of that question.
