HL Deb 15 July 1986 vol 478 c896WA
Lord Crathorne

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have now received a report from the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission following the identification of weaknesses in some of its financial control procedures.

The Minister of State, Department of the Environ-ment (Lord Elton)

This report has now been received and copies are available in the Library. In addition, I am also making available to the House copies of the report made by the commission's external auditors to which I also referred. These reports show that a detailed analysis has been made of the weaknesses and appropriate corrective action has been initiated.
