Dear Sir or Madam,

During the last five years how many times has the Local Government
Ombudsman (as a result of investigating a complaint against Norwich
City Council) brought to the attention of the council the fact that
a member of Norwich City Council staff had misled them, lied to
them or done anything else to hinder their investigation. If they
have what disciplinary action was taken against the individual(s)
concerned by the council.

Yours faithfully,

Trevor R Nunn
