HC Deb 14 July 1978 vol 953 c812W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will list the three most serious examples of inefficient use of public funds that have come to light in her Department in each of the past three years.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The Comptroller and Auditor General reports annually on any inefficient use of public funds to the Public Accounts Committee whose reports give details of cases affecting my Department. Relevant reports issued in the last three years are the 1974–75 fourth report, the 1975–76 fifth report and the 1976–77 ninth report.
