asked the Prime Minister whether she has any proposals to make a further response to the Public Accounts Committee report on the role of the Comptroller and Auditor General in Session 1980–81.

My hon. Friend the Financial Secretary told the House on 19 April—[Vol. 22, c. 97]—that there would be talks with senior right hon. and hon. Members on both sides of the House, to seek a common position on the issues raised by the PAC report. Those talks are continuing.
