HC Deb 09 May 1960 vol 623 c16W
78. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Minister of Aviation if he will now publish his reply to the Comptroller and Auditor General's questions about two missiles estimated originally to cost £8 millions and now estimated to cost £110 millions.

Mr. Sandys

No. It is not the normal practice to publish correspondence between Government Departments and the Comptroller and Auditor General on the subject of public expenditure. The information provided will be made available to the Committee of Public Accounts, which has also arranged to examine the Accounting Officer of my Department in detail on these projects before making its report to the House.
