BILL
to
This bill aims to improve transparency by giving members of the public greater access to documents from local authority audits. Currently, access to these audit records is limited, and the bill would change the rules to let more people see how their councils are being audited and monitored for proper financial management.
Presented by Mr Christopher Chope.
