Sir Thomas Arnold
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he reviews cases where a local education authority refuses to comply with the recommendations of the local government ombudsman.
Mr. Fallon
No. The Commission for Local Administration in England is entirely independent of central and local government. Part II of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 made new provision for cases where the local government ombudsman is not satisfied with the action which a local authority is taking in response to a report.
