I have seen an advertisement placed by the Wokingham Borough Conservatives which makes reference to a report on the Council’s financial situation prepared by Ernst and Young.

1. I would be grateful to receive a copy of this report at your earliest convenience
Ernst & Young have confirmed that the assurance they provide the Council in their statutory role of external auditors does not include the quoted statement.

However, it is not within the remit of the Council or its officers to comment on election literature produced by any political party.
