National Audit Office

Asked if there would be any review of the power of the NAO or anything arising from the resignation arising from Sir John Bourn, the PMS replied that this again was something for Parliament to take forward. The PAC were responsible for the governance of the NAO, and they had announced that they would be bringing forward proposals to look at the governance of the NAO. But that was something that was very much for Parliament rather than for Government.

Asked what the implications were for Government spending, the PMS replied that the main implication for Government was that if they did bring forward any proposals that had legislative implications, then we would need to find legislative time for that. And Jack Straw said today that as part of the Constitutional Reform Bill we would make space for any legislative proposals that came out of the PAC review.
