Re: Audit Commission
Graham is right on this. The Audit Commission is bang on useless, whose activity has simply been to visit each council in the land and then tick alot of boxes, taking no account of local circumstances and all at great expense to the tax payer.
It is not to be confused with the National Audit Office, which is the armed bean-counting wing of Parliament and as such reports directly to them and not to the government. As such, it displays a combination of neutrality and imagination in rooting out public waste and stupidity. As far as I now understand, the role of the audit commission is now to be transferred to the NAO and not to any private organisation.
