Item of business
Auditor General for Scotland
I take the opportunity to endorse the comments of the panel’s convener and to welcome the nomination of Caroline Gardner for the post of Auditor General.
When our public finances are under closer scrutiny than ever before, it is vital that our new Auditor General embraces the task of providing an effective and independent scrutiny service to the Parliament. I am certain that Caroline Gardner will fulfil that role very effectively. I am happy to support the nomination.
