HC Deb 03 June 1997 vol 295 c126W
Mr. Alan Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the need for changes in the role of the National Audit Office in relation to public expenditure in Wales in the event of Welsh devolution. [1090]

Mr. Ron Davies

A Welsh Assembly would be subject to rigorous standards of audit and accountability. We will set out our detailed proposals on these and other matters in the White Paper to be published in the summer.

Mr. Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will ensure that all departmental expenditure in support of the Government's campaign for devolution is separately identified. [1087]

Mr. Davies

All Welsh Office publicity expenditure related to the proposals for a Welsh Assembly will be separately identifiable.
