Local Government Ombudsman (Amendment) Bill (Money)

At risk of prolonging proceedings, may I say that the hon. Lady will understand that the Government can support the Bill because of the amendments, which effectively mean that a local authority will be obliged in stating its reasons to put in writing the product of a process that it must have gone through in any event? We are simply asking authorities to record and set out what they will already be doing as a matter of good governance, so the costs and burdens are rather negligible.
