§ Lord Lester of Herne Hillasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will take steps to publicise their publication The Ombudsman in Your Files of December 1995.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence (Earl Howe)The Ombudsman In Your Files is a guidance document for civil servants, and it would not be appropriate to spend time and money publicising the booklet to the general public. However, the booklet has been circulated widely within those departments and bodies that come within the jurisdiction of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration. It is also available to members of the public on request from the Office of Public Service.
