HC Deb 29 October 1992 vol 212 c785W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to paragraph 161 of the Treasury Minute Cm 2074, what proposals he has for amending the statutes of those executive non-departmental public bodies, where the Comptroller and Auditor General does not have the primary duty of audit nor a reserve duty of regularity and propriety audit. in order to provide such rights.

Mr. Dorrell

Establishing inspection rights for the Comptroller and Auditor General in such cases need not involve the amendment of statutes. Sponsor Departments will use their best endeavours to secure such rights by agreement.
