§ Mr. DowdTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, further to his oral statement of 13 January,Official Report, column 350, whether the proposed review of district auditors' conduct will cover the auditor's involvement in the case of the privatisation of children's homes in Bromley.
§ Mr. BaldryMy right hon. Friend is not proposing to review the conduct of any individual audit or auditor; he has no role in such matters. If general lessons about the audit process are drawn to his attention in the light of a specific case, he will consider them when this can be done without prejudice to the case in question.
