Can I say that I welcome this motion and the proposed nomination to Her Majesty the Queen? It has been my honour to work with Adrian Crompton for many years, most recently when I was Deputy Presiding Officer. He is a man of the highest integrity, clarity of thought, and of the deepest commitment to scrutiny in public life. Above all, Adrian Crompton has been a champion of the legislative branch of government. This background will make him an outstanding and innovative auditor general, in my view. We wish him well in this most important post. Could I also record my thanks to Huw Thomas, the outgoing auditor general, for all the great work that he has done? We are greatly helped in our role in scrutinising government and public agencies by the work of the auditor general, and there's much promise now with this new appointment.
