The office of the Local Government Ombudsman for Wales was created by an Act of Parliament in 1974. He is an independent Commissioner appointed by the Queen. One of his roles is to investigate complaints by members of the public that they have suffered injustice as a result of maladministration by certain local authorities in Wales. He was given further powers in 2001 to investigate allegations that members of local authorities in Wales had failed to comply with the authority's code of conduct.
