Clause 15 - Persons to assist auditors
Public Audit (Wales) Bill [Lords]
11:00 am
Mr Bill Wiggin (Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Local and Devolved Government Affairs; Leominster, Conservative)
I was going to ask the Minister why this should not be part of new section 96C of the Government of Wales Act 1998, as inserted by clause 2. However, I may have missed the suggestion in the clause that the people in question will be of a specialist nature, with expertise that may not include auditing. I recognise that as business has become more complex, such people would be necessary. I am grateful to the Minister for his reply, which satisfies my curiosity about the clause.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 15 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
