HC Deb 06 February 1991 vol 185 c178W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether his representative on the Auditing Practices Committee recommended the issue of a consultative document on the formation of the auditing practices board.

Mr. Redwood

The decision to issue a consultative document on the proposed Auditing Practices Board was a matter for the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies, not the Auditing Practices Committee. However, I welcome the consultative committee's decision to give everyone with an interest in auditing an opportunity to comment on and contribute constructively to the proposed new arrangements for setting auditing standards and issuing guidance to auditors.
