HC Deb 27 November 1975 vol 901 cc290-1W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps are being taken within his Department to improve control and accountancy in view of the failure to account for around £5 million of public expenditure.

Mr. Joel Barnett

There has been no failure to account for public expenditure; the Treasury submitted to the Select Committee on Expenditure last week a memorandum on the matter referred to in the Question.
