Lords amendment: No. 12, in page 6, line 17, after "Act" insert
(together with a statement of accounts)
§ Mr. BrightI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
This amendment, which was moved by Lord Houghton of Sowerby on Report in another place, places a requirement on the designated authority to include a statement of its accounts in the annual report which it is required to submit to the Secretary of State under clause 6.
On Report I moved amendments which ensured that the designated authority reported so that the House and the public would be aware of what it was doing. The amendment requires a statement of account to be issued annually. I see no reason not to accept that. I commend the amendment to the House.
§ Question put and agreed to.
