Clause 39 - Accounts and audit regulations
Public Audit (Wales) Bill [Lords]
2:30 pm
Mr Bill Wiggin (Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Local and Devolved Government Affairs; Leominster, Conservative)
I am glad that the Minister is keeping an eye on me. I was on my bicycle, but we should not extend the powers to make that an offence—it is a helpful and environmentally sensitive way to get around.
I take the Minister's point that this is an existing power. He will have taken on board the equivalence argument that I made, so I see no point in pressing the issue further. We tabled amendments to try to get this issue right. Having drawn those concerns to the attention of the Committee, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 39 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
