Clause 28 - Additional publicity for non-immediate reports
Public Audit (Wales) Bill [Lords]
11:15 am
Mr Don Touhig (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Wales), Department for Constitutional Affairs; Islwyn, Labour/Co-operative)
I beg to move amendment No. 48, in clause 28, page 21, line 16, leave out 'body' and insert 'auditor'.
The amendment corrects a minor error in clause 28. Subsection (3)(b) enables a member of the public to obtain, on payment of a reasonable sum, a copy of a non-immediate public interest report prepared by an auditor under clause 22 in respect of an audited body's accounts. It states that a copy of the report should be supplied by the audited body, but the reference should be to the body's auditors. The amendment corrects that mistake, and I commend it to the Committee.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 28, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 29 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
