HC Deb 22 April 1958 vol 586 c67W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Paymaster-General whether he will give general directions to the National Coal Board, the British Electricity Authority and the Gas Council to publish complete commercial reports of their finances during the past calendar year, showing full details of all moneys received and expended.

Mr. Maudling

No. The annual statutory reports and, accounts of these corporations, for their respective financial years, will be presented to Parliament and published in due course. The statutes already require that the form of the statements of accounts shall conform with the best commercial standards.
