Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask the Cabinet Office what instructions are given to officials on responding to requests for papers by the Parliamentary Ombudsman. [605781

Mr. Alexander

Guidance to officials on responding to requests for papers by the Parliamentary Ombudsman is set out in 'Handling of Parliamentary Ombudsman Cases.'

'The Ombudsman in Your Files, the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information' and guidance on its interpretation are also relevant.
