	Lords Hansard text for 25 Jan 2005 (250125-33)
		The noble Lord said: Perhaps I may say at the beginning that, although there are a great many amendments in my name, for the most part they are probing.
		When the noble Lord, Lord Roberts, spoke to Amendment No. 1 in relation to the Education Bill, I noted that he mentioned that there had been consultation as regards the Education Bill.
		Given that practice, and on hearing the arguments made by noble Lords, I accept the principle that the Assembly should be consulted both before and after the appointment, and that the requirement should appear in the Bill.

	Lords Hansard text for 10 Feb 2005 (250210-04)
		My Lords, in Grand Committee we listened very carefully to the arguments put forward for making it a requirement that the Secretary of State consults the Assembly before recommending to Her Majesty the appointment of an ombudsman or acting ombudsman.
		In the light of that, I hope that the noble Lord, Lord Roberts, will withdraw Amendment No. 1, which is intended to have the same effect in relation to the appointment of an ombudsman although not, I note, in respect of an acting appointment, for which no equivalent amendment has been tabled.
		The noble Lord said: My Lords, it was clear from the amendments that your Lordships proposed in Grand Committee and the level of debate that followed that a considerable amount of thought had been given to the tenure of the ombudsman's appointment.
