With regard to acting in an informal manner, which we suggest be deleted from the legislation, the Government has included the word "undue" to try to reach a compromise. What is the opinion of the witnesses on this? In particular, I make the point if this was not in the original legislation do witnesses believe it would prohibit the office of the ombudsman from acting in an informal manner?
