To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether any staff from accountancy firms criticised by his Department's inspectors are currently seconded to his Department.
Mr. Redwood
The Department currently has one secondee who is a staff member of an accountancy firm which has been criticised in a published inspector's report during the period since June 1979. A further two secondees are from an accountancy firm, the predecessors of which have been criticised.
