Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill.

International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill

: My hon. Friend and I agree about accountability and the Public Accounts Committee. Does she accept that there is a strong argument, which I have tried to present on previous occasions, that the manner in which the European Union organises the evaluation of its accounts through the Court of Auditors and so on should also be in the Public Accounts Committee’s purview, so that the Committee would not merely make the sort of recommendation that she cited, but adjudicate on any EU failures to use the British taxpayers’ money appropriately?
