How much influence will the committee have?

The government seems to be on a path to both introduce an ombudsman whilst simultaneously ensuring that she has no powers. The single Services are fighting tooth and nail not to have independent oversight and the Service police forces are not exactly racing to allow any independent complaints system.

I fear there will have to be further serious and shameful events before a real change is demanded, but heartened that the committee is at least trying to correct the balance.
