coming close to losing control over the public purse Macdonell told the Commons public ac counts committee he was especially hear tened by government agreement to appoint comptrollergeneral with deputy minister status to report on financial operations to the treasury boa rd Appointment of comptrollergeneral was key recommendation last year by Macdonell in my judgment this is vitally important
