Appointment of the Comptroller and Auditor General

I am concerned about how the continuity of work is maintained when one CAG retires and another takes over. First, the NAO has joined a consortium—along with the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, the Clerks' Department and other bodies—that provides advice on strengthening parliaments abroad. I hope that work will continue. Secondly, I have been in correspondence with Sir John Bourn about how Health Ministers report to Parliament on independent NHS treatments centres, and he has commissioned an inquiry into that. Will the Chairman of the PAC give an assurance, to me and to other hon. Members with balls in the NAO's court, that there will be continuity in respect of work that is currently under way?
