Local Audit (Delegation of Functions) and Statutory Audit (Delegation of Functions) Order 2014

I thank the noble Lord for being the only person present for the beginning of the debate, and for the points he has raised.

He asked how many local bodies will be undertaking major local audits. We estimate that there will be around 100 to 150. He also asked whether there would be an extension to the existing audit contracts that are in place, to allow for the transition phase. We have asked the LGA to set up a company which will manage existing audit contracts, running to 2017, so I hope he is satisfied by that. We will make a decision on whether or not to extend those contracts in due course.

I think I have answered both his questions. Was there another one?
