Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

The Minister referred a moment ago to the powers of the Public Accounts Commission being strengthened by the Bill. In the context of the exchange that we have just had on the point that I made earlier, will she reflect on how that will be achieved if the new board of the NAO is enhanced or enlarged with more non-executive members and a new chairman? Surely much of the advisory role that the commission has been able to play in the relationship with the Comptroller and Auditor General will now be supplanted by the board, in which case the powers of the commission will be reduced.
