HC Deb 27 October 1976 vol 918 c229W
72. Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has yet received any reports of the district auditors inquiring into allegations of waste or improper financial control in direct labour organisations.

Mr. Freeson

Inspection of the accounts of the activities of direct labour organisations, as of other local authority activities, is part of the normal duties of a district auditor. Copies of all reports on district audit are required to be sent to the Secretary of State.
