Office of the Deputy Prime Minister

Question: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, which (a) ombudsmen and (b) other bodies are able to investigate complaints against the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal.

Answer: Bob Spink: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister which (a) ombudsmen and (b) other bodies are able to investigate complaints against the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal. [78467] Mr. McNulty: Leasehold Valuation Tribunals are independent quasi-judicial bodies which are funded by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. Parties who are dissatisfied with a decision of a tribunal have a right of appeal to the Lands Tribunal. The Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration can investigate complaints by someone claiming to have sustained injustice in consequence of maladministration in the way in which a tribunal administers a case but he cannot intervene in the tribunal's decision.
