Dear Mark Coram,
Many thanks for your reply. There has been an esrc study recently that identifies that there has been no scrutiny of the Ombudsman since about 1989, and that their accountability urgently needs review.
There is also a question following the Collaboration between Ombudsmen Regulatory Reform Order that the appointment of the Ombudsman should have been examined by the Public Administration Select Committee whilst the appointment of the Deputy Chair of the Commission for Local Administration in England fell only at the door of the CLG Select Committee.
Yours sincerely,
Stuart Hardwicke CARRUTHERS
