Dear Mr Nunn

Thank you for your e-mail received 04 August 2009 requesting information about the numbers of times Local Government Ombudsman (as a result of investigating a complaint against LBBD) brought to the attention of the council the fact that a member of council staff had misled, lied to them or done anything else to hinder their investigation during the last five years.

Angie Martin in the Resources Department will arrange for the information to be provided to you no later than 02/09/09.

Whilst it is the Council's policy to provide information wherever possible, I need to advise you that there are a number of exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. These may prevent me from releasing all or some of the information you have asked for. You will, however be informed if this is the case and why.

Yours sincerely

Remi Ahmed
