Parliamentary Ombudsman

Question
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Bassam of Brighton on 29 March (WA 126), on how many occasions since 1997, and in respect of which specific recommendations, the Legal Services Commission has refused or omitted to give effect to   the recommendations of the Parliamentary Ombudsman.
Answer

The Legal Services Commission cannot identify an occasion since January 1998 when it has not implemented or given effect to a recommendation by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration. The commission is unable to provide information before that date. From time to time, there are discussions about the amounts of compensation paid out in particular cases.
