Our history

40th Anniversary

The Parliamentary Ombudsman’s office celebrated its 40th anniversary in April 2007. To commemorate this event, we:

• published a report called The Parliamentary Ombudsman: Withstanding the test of time (pdf);
  
  
• We also produced a timeline, which shows significant events in the history of the Parliamentary Ombudsman over the past 40 years.
