The request was partially successful.

Dear Local Government Ombudsmen,

Between 1st January 2004 and 3rd October 2010, I would like to know how many Ombudsmen from Australia and Canada have visited the Commission for Local Administration for England in order to exchange information and ideas as part of a study tour of UK Ombudsmen, as an individual study tour of English Local Government Ombudsmen or for any other reason?

Please include the date, the reason, the name and title of the visiting Ombudsmen, which LGOs they met and which offices they visited.

Yours faithfully,

A Johnson
