Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. The Minister has given his view that that is a sensible way forward from the Infrastructure Minister, and I do not disagree, but is he aware of any other arm's-length bodies that have incurred similar overspends such that Departments have taken similar action in employing a forensic accountant to look at those? What can and should we be doing to improve the oversight and budgetary discipline of ALBs?
