In the document identifying the management arrangements for the
Commission for Local Administration England (CLAE) it states in
paragraphs: 6.2 The fourth Commissioner, the Parliamentary Commissioner
for Administration, has no personal responsibilities beyond his or her
participation in the collective decision‑taking of the Commission.
6.3 The four Commissioners have agreed to be bound by the Commission's
'Code of Conduct for Commission Members' which is based on current
Government guidance to members of NDPBs. There is no Code of Conduct
available from either the CLAE Website or that of the Parliamentary and
Health Service Ombudsman. Please would you provide a copy of the document
that relates to the Work of the PHSO. Would you additionally forward any
documentation containing identification of breaches of the Code by members
of the CLAE.

the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I attach a copy of the document you
