Summary Part 5: Transparency of Government Financial Reporting to Parliament
13.Part 5 of the Act contains two sections. Section 43 amends the Government Resources and Accounts Act 2000 (“the GRAA 2000”) in order to allow the Treasury to issue directions about the way departments prepare Supply Estimates and to direct that such Estimates are to include information relating to “designated bodies”. It also includes provision preventing the designation of a body if it is funded solely from the Scottish Consolidated Fund, the Consolidated Fund of Northern Ireland or the Welsh Consolidated Fund and makes consequential amendments to the GRAA 2000. Section 44 amends the Government of Wales Act 2006 to make corresponding provision in relation to Wales.
