According to the Welsh secretary, police should look into allegations made in a damning report about a health board's financial situation.
EY, an accounting firm, discovered that the Betsi Cadwaladr health board had misreported millions of pounds.
Since "those are matters that the police should be investigating," David TC Davies said he "absolutely" supported calls for a police investigation.
In response to whether to look into the claims in the report, North Wales Police said it would "make an assessment.".
In a statement to BBC Wales last month, the health board claimed that it was addressing the problems brought up by the leaked report.
In its 2021–22 accounts, the organization allegedly recorded transactions for work that contractors had not yet completed or for medical equipment that had not yet arrived by the time it did.
An internal review of what transpired is still ongoing, despite the fact that the criminal fraud investigation into the incident was dropped earlier this year.
In his appearance before the Welsh Affairs Committee of Westminster on Wednesday, Ynys Môn MP Virginia Crosbie questioned Mr. Davies about his support for "police carrying out a detailed assessment of the case with Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.".
Of course, he answered, "Absolutely.
"The EY report contains some allegations that have received substantial press coverage, and I believe that the police should be looking into those. ".
Conservative MPs from North Wales requested a new criminal investigation in May.
Later on in the committee meeting, Mr. Davies was questioned about whether the Westminster government could override the decision of Welsh Labour ministers to halt all significant road projects in Wales, a decision that UK roads minister Richard Holden had previously called "obviously bonkers.".
Mr. Davies called the Welsh government's decision to forbid the construction of new roads in Wales "wrong," but he insisted that "we have to respect the institution" and that he "wouldn't support" any such action.
"You have the powers now, the Internal Market Act allows the UK government to spend money in devolved areas," said independent Delyn representative Rob Roberts to Mr. Davies.
While acknowledging that this is "correct," Mr. Davies did point out that the Welsh government may be able to stop it through its planning authority.
"I don't think it's realistic to think we could send in bulldozers and start concreting roads over without the Welsh government's support, and I don't think that would be wise.
"I believe the decision to forbid the construction of new roads is incorrect, but even if we had the legal authority, I would not support the idea of going in there and concreting over, bulldozing, and sending in diggers against the wishes of the Welsh government because I believe we must respect the institution. ".
Following Brexit, the Internal Market Act defines the terms of trade between the four UK countries and transfers financial authority from the EU to the UK government for projects like infrastructure, economic development, infrastructure, and sport.
