Does the proposal that the costs of the ombudsman be paid by the Bar Council and the Law Society relate to the entire cost, including the salaries paid to the ombudsman and all staff in the office? We have had many complaints recently about particularly high pensions being paid to people who have given up public positions. Will the pensions of the ombudsman and staff be covered by the levy on the Bar Council and Law Society?
