Mr. Peter Tyndall:

We have not monitored that. In the longer term, I intend to monitor the backgrounds of the people using my service to make sure we are providing a fair and equitable service regardless of people's background. I am confident that we are, but I would like to monitor that so that we do it more effectively. We see the same kinds of complaint regardless of the background of the individual concerned. I think Mr. Garvey and Mr. Mallen would echo that. The kind of complaints I have heard when I have been at centres have been similar. Some the issues we have seen and which we are well placed to address concern culture such as cases where people have certain religious requirements in respect of diets and they are not properly catered for. Some people have been afraid to raise that. They have raised it with us. I have spoken to the centres and in each instance we have been able to resolve the issue for them. There may be particular issues for people from certain backgrounds, but in dealing with us, there is no difference in the complaints and experience of people from Africa. My office has developed links with the office of the Office of the Ombudsman in Malawi. A significant number of people from Malawi have come here and this connection has given us a particular perspective and insight that has been very helpful to us in doing our job.
