HC Deb 22 February 1982 vol 18 c271W
25. Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he is satisfied with present arrangements for auditing the accounts of the nationalised industries for which he is responsible.

Mr. Norman Lamont

I am satisfied with the present arrangements which allow for independent audit by professional firms appointed by my right hon. Friend to standards at least comparable to those expected of large industrial or commercial undertakings in the private sector.
