Proceeding contribution from Sarah McCarthy-Fry (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.

Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship this afternoon, Sir Alan. This part of the Bill implements the recommendations of the 15th report of the Public Accounts Commission. I would like to begin by paying tribute to the work of the NAO and the Comptroller and Auditor General. Part 7 of the Bill modernises the governance arrangements for national audit and continues the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General as an independent officer of the House of Commons, but limits the term of office to a single appointment of 10 years.
