Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 24 March 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Audit (Public Access to Documents) Bill.


Local Audit (Public Access to Documents) Bill

I beg to move amendment 2, page 1, line 5, leave out from “after” to the end of the subsection and insert—

“any members of the public who are registered to vote in local elections in the United Kingdom”.

This amendment would further extend the public access to local audit documents under section 26 of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 in the interest of transparency and accountability.
