Clause 70 - Welsh NHS bodies
Public Audit (Wales) Bill [Lords]
3:45 pm
Mr Bill Wiggin (Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Local and Devolved Government Affairs; Leominster, Conservative)
The Minister will recognise that we do not wish the Auditor General to be frustrated by existing auditors. As long as he is confident that that will not happen, I am content. It is important that existing auditors continue in the form that he outlined. I recognise the inadequacy of the amendment, but I emphasise that it was a probing amendment to find out whether the Auditor General would be frustrated. The Minister has assured me that he will not, so I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 70 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clauses 71 and 72 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Schedule 4 agreed to.
Clauses 73 and 74 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
