HC Deb 15 November 1920 vol 134 cc1529-30W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the War Office the date up to which the accounts of the Navy and Army Canteen Board have been audited, and by whom the audit was carried out; whether the auditors were able to obtain all the information that they desired; and whether they have made any adverse comments on the accounts submitted to them?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

The accounts of the Navy and Army Canteen Board have been audited up to the 30th June, 1919, and the audit to the end of 1919 is nearly completed. Messrs. Deloitte, Plender, Griffiths, and Company have carried out the audit, and I am informed that they state that all the information that they desired has been supplied to them. In the covering letters sent by them to the Board with the certified accounts some recommendations have been made, such as are customary in letters of this nature.
