LGO investigations.

The request was successful.

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 Oxford City Council) brought to the attention of the council the fact that a member of Oxford 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

HUGHES Martin, Oxford City Council

HUGHES Martin, Oxford City Council

Dear Mr. Nunn,
Thank you for your Freedom of Information enquiry dated
January 12th.

I can confirm that there are no instances of the
Ombudsman bringing to the Council's attention that Council staff had
misled him, lied to him or hindered any of his investigations.

I hope this assists, but if you disagree with any part
of this response you are entitled to ask Oxford City Council for an
internal review of the decision(s) made. You may do this by writing to
The Monitoring Officer, Oxford City Council, The Town Hall, Blue Boar
Street, Oxford, OX1 4EY. If, after the result of an internal review, you
are still not satisfied, you may ask the Information Commissioner to
intervene on your behalf. You may do this by writing to The Information
Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire,
SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely,

Martin Hughes
