asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will specify the instances, if any, in the last ten financial years in which the Comptroller and Auditor-General reported adversely to Parliament on any item of public expenditure, with the name of the Department concerned and the consequence of the Report in each case?

I would refer the hon. Member to the Annual Appropriation Accounts, presented, with the Comptroller and Auditor-General's Report thereon, to this House, and to the various reports of the Public Accounts Committee.
