I'm delighted to say that the National Audit Office - which has done reports previously on issues at organisations from British Steel to Equitable Life - has agreed to look at the case of the local AEAT Pensioners.

In the coming weeks, the NAO will publish the facts they have collected and the powerful Public Accounts Committee in Parliament will be undertaking an inquiry. The PAC has launched a call for evidence which can be submitted to until Sunday 5 March here.
