HL Deb 22 March 1999 vol 598 c137WA
Lord Morris of Castle Morris

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have appointed an external auditor for the randomised badger culling trial. [HL1529]

Lord Donoughue

In its report of July 1998 to Ministers, the Independent Scientific Group on TB in cattle recommended that an external auditor be appointed to check field operations. Cresswell Associates, Environmental Consultants of Stroud, Gloucestershire, have now been appointed to carry out this work until November 1999. Audit work after that date will be the subject of a further invitation to tender.
