Clause 44 - Studies at request of local government bodies in Wales
Public Audit (Wales) Bill [Lords]
2:45 pm
Mr Bill Wiggin (Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Local and Devolved Government Affairs; Leominster, Conservative)
The important thing is that the Auditor General may consult, and having consulted will go ahead irrespective of the results. While I agree that any consultation is better than none, this is perhaps not the tidiest bit of the Bill. It could cause employees some needless worry. However, I take the point that the purpose is to allow some consultation. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 44 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
