I apologise for interrupting. Section 56(4)(a) in the proposed legislation states:

"Where the Ombudsman determines it is appropriate or desirable for a complaint investigation to include an oral hearing, the Ombudsman shall decide whether to conduct any such oral hearing in public or in private, having consulted with the parties and having considered the nature or circumstances of the complaint and whether it is in the interest of justice to do so.”

That is a fairly broad power given to the FSPO. Am I to take it that if both parties to a dispute say they prefer to have it heard in private, that will be acceded to?
