HC Deb 17 July 1978 vol 954 c69W
Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many reports he received from the district auditor in each year since 1974–75; and how many in each year reported unfavourably on the accounts of local authorities.

Mr. Guy Barnett

The number of reports received from district auditors in the financial years 1974–75 to 1977–78 are set out below, but the numbers which were unfavourable cannot be given without a disproportionate expenditure of time and resources:

1974–75 258
1975–76 348
1976–77 488
1977–78 332
