§ Mr. Parryasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many matters have been referred to the district auditor appertaining to the Liverpool city council since May 1979; how many cases have been resolved; and how many are still outstanding.
§ Mr. KingIn the period from May 1979 the district auditor has received 28 questions and objections from local electors about the accounts of Liverpool city council. Twenty one of these have been resolved. In five cases there is a possibility that the electors concerned will be following up their questions with objections in due course. The remaining two cases are still subject to correspondence.
