Local Audit and Accountability Bill [HL]

I am again grateful to the noble Baroness. Perhaps she might reflect on that last point and we could deal with it by correspondence, because I am not sure that it has been dealt with.

It is right to say that the process of outsourcing by the commission has helped to diversify the market a bit but, frankly, not very much. We know the history with the big four: how dominant they can be and the resources that they can throw at opportunities which small or even quite substantial medium-sized firms cannot do. That is a debate for another day. Accordingly, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
