HC Deb 28 March 1935 vol 299 c2193

9.22 p.m.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 95, line 21, to leave out "expenditure in the United Kingdom from," and to insert: transactions in the United Kingdom affecting. This Clause deals with auditing. As originally drafted the audit applied to expenditure and did not apply, as an audit usually does, to the other side of the accounts—namely, what comes in. Therefore, instead of the word "expenditure" we propose to insert the word "transactions," which will cover payments out and receipts coming in.

Amendment agreed to.

Two consequential Amendments made.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
