45. Under our current Standing Orders (No. 141(5)) we may report to the House on any matter arising from our consideration of a proposal. One matter that arises in our consideration of this RRO was the retention of the "MP filter" whereby complaints could only be referred to the Parliamentary Ombudsman via a Member of Parliament. As noted above, the existence of this MP filter was criticised by a number of respondents: this view was shared by a number of MPs according to the most recent survey of Members' views and the Public Administration Select Committee.[2] We asked the Cabinet Office about the removal of the MP filter. In its response, the Cabinet Office stated that it was the Government's view that a Regulatory Reform Order would not be an appropriate vehicle for making such changes and that these changes could only be made by primary legislation. We are content with this assessment.
