§ Mr. MorleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the councils which have refused to implement the recommendations of the local government ombudsman from 1991 to date; and what action he intends to take to ensure the recommendations are carried out.
§ Mr. Robin SquireThis information for the year ending 31 March 1992 will be published in the 1991–92 annual report of the Commission for Local Administration. The citizens charter makes clear the Government's intention to consider making the ombudsman's recommendations legally enforceable if such a step should become necessary.
