Clause 42 - Studies on impact of statutory provisions etc
Public Audit (Wales) Bill [Lords]
2:30 pm
Mr Win Griffiths (Bridgend, Labour)
With this it will be convenient to take new clause 1—Comparative studies—
'(1) Studies carried out in section 41 or 42 may include comparative studies involving local government bodies in England if the Auditor General for Wales considers it desirable to do so for the purposes of his analysis of local government bodies in Wales.
(2) If local government bodies in England are to be included in any study under section 41 or 42, the consultation mentioned in sections 41(5) and 42(3) shall also include the Secretary of State and the Audit Commission.'.
The procedure is that if there is any vote on the new clause, it will occur later in our proceedings.
