Government of Wales Bill

My Lords, I thank my noble friend for his contribution, which was again to the point. This is rather curious. We have perfectly good arrangements where the Auditor General for Wales has all the powers that he seems to need to carry out investigations and all the proper avenues for reporting things that go wrong. Nevertheless, the Comptroller and Auditor General is still there, able to investigate broadly what he wants, presumably able to issue reports as he chooses and then trigger the UK parliamentary procedures that flow from that. Given the lateness of the hour, we do not want to pursue that. I have already made it clear that this is a probing amendment for this evening, but we will want to think carefully about the unsatisfactory nature of what the Minister had told us and possibly return to it at a later stage. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 142 [Audit Committee reports]:
