[Official Report, 19 January 2009, Vol. 486, c. 1078W.]
Letter of correction from John Healey:
An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, North-East (Mr. Purchase) on 19 January 2008. The reference to the average amount of time that board members devote to work for the Audit Commission was incorrect. The correct answer should have been:
John Healey: Ms Jenny Watson is not a contractor working for the Audit Commission, but holds office as a member of the Audit Commission having been appointed by the Secretary of State. There are no specific requirements of board members as to the time they should devote to work for the Audit Commission but there is an expectation that this will, on average, equate to three days per month during the course of the year. Ms Jenny Watson receives remuneration of £14,146 per annum, which is the amount specified by the Secretary of State for payment to the majority of the Audit Commission board members.
