I ask members to look at the letter that I received from the Minister for Finance and Local Government and at the paper by the clerk. The letter relates to proposed changes to the scope of activities of the Auditor General. The clerk has provided a summary paper on the issues involved. Members will note that the minister has asked us to feed in any views or comments. I understand that the list of bodies attached to the minister's letter is only a draft and takes no account of the on-going review of public bodies. A consultation document is being considered and the list may change before the orders are made. The final position will be checked before the orders are drafted by lawyers.
The next meeting of the Audit Committee will be on Tuesday 27 November, when the committee will consider a draft report on Moray College.
Meeting closed at 14:23.
