HC Deb 28 November 1983 vol 49 cc351-2W
Mr. du Cann

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his policy towards the initiative of the accounting standards committee of the six professional associations and institutes in establishing a public sector liaison group with the aim of developing further financial reporting standards and procedures in the public sector accounting field.

Mr. Lawson

The accounting standards committee is well placed to offer valuable advice to the Departments concerned on how to carry out their responsibilities in the public sector accounting field, and I wholeheartedly welcome its initiative in setting up a public sector liaison group for this purpose.
