My Lords, I am grateful for that response. I would like to read the record about the explanation for Clause 3. That clause deals with the general requirements for accounts of a relevant authority, not all authorities.
May I revert to that position about the difference in presentation between Clause 19 and 20? There is that very clear reference to “true and fair view” in Clause 20 in respect of health service bodies. Either that implies that there is somehow a different approach or the presentation has simply been chosen to be different in Clause 19. If it is easier to write on that matter, I am happy to accept that. It was the lack of such a reference in Clause 19, my having read Clause 20, that really prompted the inquiry.
