Planning Bill
1:00 pm
John Healey (Minister of State (Local Government), Department for Communities and Local Government; Wentworth, Labour)
On a point of order, Mr. Illsley. The hon. Member for Beckenham asked me late on Tuesday’s sitting about the National Audit Office and the bodies that it audits, and I promised to get back to her with a list. That list demonstrates that it is standard practice for the NAO to audit national bodies such as the infrastructure planning commission and those that essentially are non-departmental public bodies. I have responded to the hon. Lady and, for the benefit of Committee members, made available a list of the bodies that the NAO currently has responsibility for auditing.
