23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

I understood that.

I understand that.

23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

But how can you track and audit soft intelligence?

23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

Good morning. This is a question to Andrew Cartner. Given the circumstances that we are in, what actions are you taking to improve the quality of reporting in the WGA?

23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

I was looking for improvement, rather than a dissection of what is missing and what is not missing. The question was about improving.

23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

Better.

This is to Mr Bowler. How will you be using the WGA in future? At the moment, it contains audited information that may be pertinent to new fiscal rules announced in the 2024 autumn Budget.

23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

How confident are you that the WGA is reliable for this purpose, given that the audit opinion is expected to be disclaimed in the future?

25
23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

When did you notice that? You said 2014 to 2019, so that is a five-year period.

23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

With hindsight, would you say that the abolition of the Audit Commission was unfortunate?

14
23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

Thank you; that is very straightforward.

23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

Given the disclaiming issues, I would hope that reliability is part of your vision for the WGA.

23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

We hope that you have a vision for the future of the WGA. Will you outline what your vision is?

23 Jan 2025 High Streets: Autumn Budget 2024

Does my hon. Friend agree that the high streets of Tiverton and Minehead, as well as those of every other constituency in the country, will be hurt by this Government’s decision to lower the amount of relief offered to retail, hospitality and leisure businesses from 75% to 40%? Does she also agree that they should inst

Good.

23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

Hugely sub-optimal—that is great!

23 Jan 2025Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 367)

Maybe I am a bit thick, but you are telling me that the WGA relies on what you refer to as soft intelligence, because people talk to each other and then they talk back to you. In my definition, that is anecdotal evidence.

23 Jan 2025 High Streets: Autumn Budget 2024

In recent weeks, I have been working with an excellent organisation called Family Business UK. Before Christmas, it did some research on the impact of agricultural property relief and business property relief on family businesses, and it is about to do another round of research. Do the Minister’s officials want to avai

22 Jan 2025 Education, Health and Care Plans

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Huq. I commend my hon. Friend the Member for Chelmsford (Marie Goldman) for securing this debate. It is very encouraging to see so many parliamentary colleagues present, although I must comment on the notable absence of those who should be here and be held accountab

22 Jan 2025Listed Places of Worship Scheme

In my beautiful constituency of Tiverton and Minehead, I have 25 grade I listed churches. There is hardly a village that does not have a grade I listed church and churches with other statuses. I hope the hon. Member agrees that, without this grant, there are dark days ahead for these communities.
