HC Deb 15 October 2002 vol 390 c609W
Matthew Taylor

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he will bring forward proposals on who should sign the whole of Government accounts; and if he will make a statement. [74124]

Mr. Boateng

The first whole of government accounts, covering the results and financial position of central government for the year ending 31 March 2004, should be published in early 2005.

The Financial Reporting Advisory Board will be consulted in 2003 on who should sign the accounts.
