Commission for Local Administration in England

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, when his Department plans to publish the results of its consultation on extending the remit of the Local Government Ombudsman to include larger parish and town councils.

Answer

The consultation on extending the remit of the Local Government Ombudsman to larger parish and town councils closed on 30 June and we are now carefully considering the 108 responses we received from parish and town councils, district councils, local government representative bodies and members of the public.

We are doing this in the context of our intention, as announced in the Queen’s speech, to publish in this Parliamentary session a draft Bill creating a single Public Service Ombudsman.
