Clause 47 - Publication of information as to standards of performance
Public Audit (Wales) Bill [Lords]
3:00 pm
Mr Bill Wiggin (Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Local and Devolved Government Affairs; Leominster, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Minister for his answer. Given that the Auditor General will wish to make comparisons with similar authorities elsewhere, we do not need to press the amendment to a vote. I hope that that is how things will proceed, although there is always the possibility that the Auditor General may choose to do something completely different; he has the flexibility to do so. However, the Minister's criticism of my amendment suggests that it might not address that eventuality, so I beg to ask leave to withdraw it.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 47 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
