Nigel,

I'm drafting a response to a number 10 e petition requesting that the Ombudsman's recommendations for authorities be binding.

[Paragraph not related to the % omitted]

I believe that the compliance rate with recommendations was 100% in 2006-2007.  Do you have a figure for what it was in 2007-2008?

Regards,
