Proceeding contribution from Alan Williams (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.

Public Accounts

The consultation on whether the Government should have more power or influence over the BBC is utterly irrelevant. The National Audit Office has statutorily and deliberately been made completely independent of the Government. That is why it audits Government Departments. If there is a falling back on the basis of that evidence, it needs to be said that it is happening on the basis of no relevant evidence whatever.
