I understand that the Deputy is seeking this information in respect of all taxation cases referred to the Ombudsman since the date on which the Ombudsman Act 1980 came into operation. The conduct of the necessary search and retrieval of the relevant records will require a number of weeks. I will arrange to have the information forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it becomes available.
