Mr. Alan WilliamsTo ask the Attorney-General how many files marked not for National Audit Office eyes are held by the Department; and how many are marked not for Public Accounts Committee eyes.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThere are 19 files in the Departments for which I am responsible marked "Not for NAO eyes".
The marking "Not for NAO eyes" is used in accordance with an agreement between the Treasury and the National Audit Office, under which documents relating to the handling of relations between Departments and the NAO and PAC are not automatically available to the NAO while they are current.
There is no marking "Not for PAC eyes".
