Mr. Graham Doyle:
The Local Government Audit Service will audit grant funding coming from all sources. As one of the funders of local authorities and a substantial funder, we have very clear processes and procedures about the drawdown of grant funding that must be followed so we will interrogate that as a Department as will the Local Government Audit Service and NOAC will report on it at a wider level. There are audit committees and there are internal audit functions-----
