Government of Wales Bill

I shall try. The money goes to Wales on behalf of a UK Minister, and as I said, this would have to be set out in a budget resolution. The real control is the Auditor General who, when looking at Welsh Ministers’ accounts, has to be satisfied that the money has been used for the purpose specified in the first place. That is rather like a company having its accounts audited, so that if irregularities are spotted they are reported to the board. The noble Baroness is asking whether there is a mechanism that will always ensure that the money is spent on the purpose specified by the UK Minister. Our view is that yes, the mechanism is in place. However, I would be happy to write in more detail setting out the mechanism if the noble Baroness so wishes.
