2. The Deputy of St. Mary will ask the following question of the Chief Minister –
“Can the Chief Minister explain why, during the time the suspension or disciplinary action against the Chief Officer of States of Jersey Police was being discussed and prepared behind the scenes, there was no formal attempt to resolve the issues between the Minister for Home Affairs, senior officers who had concerns, and the former Chief Officer of States of Jersey Police?”
9. The Deputy of St. Martin will ask the following question of the Chief Minister –
“Will the Chief Minister inform Members why part (d) of the Terms of Reference relating to the former Police Chief’s sworn Affidavit and published in the comments to P.9/2010 and in the Jersey Evening Post on 26th March 2010, was removed from the Napier Report and advise who was responsible and, given the Affidavit’s relevance to the suspension, why Members were not party to the decision to amend the Terms?”
15. The Deputy of St. Martin will ask the following question of the Minister for Home Affairs –
“In light of the criticism in the Napier Report of the Acting Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police, will the Minister be undertaking disciplinary action against this Officer in order to demonstrate consistency and does the Minister still have confidence in the said Officer’s integrity and suitability to continue in Office despite his imminent retirement?”
23. Deputy M. Tadier of St. Brelade will ask the following question of the Chief Minister –
“Given that the Chief Minister stated that the initial suspension of the Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police, which was heavily criticised in the Napier report, was justified in light of the Wiltshire Report submitted a year later, can he confirm whether ‘the end justifies the means’ is now an accepted principle of his administration, and, if so, in which other areas this will be applied?”
The Interview of Deputy Bob Hill & Chief of police Mr Graham Power By Chris Rayner on BBC Radio Jersey just after 5 this evening.
Both are having to correct Chris & say that there was a Conspiracy in getting rid of him. With meetings going on for months before the suspension happened.
Both BBC & the Channel Report news tonight said that this report says that there was NO Conspiracy?
