Written question asked by Baroness Stern (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) on Monday, 5 December 2005.


Youth Justice Board: Use of Restraint

Question
Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Scotland of Asthal on 15 November (WA 143–44), whether Mr Peter Boatman, employed as a consultant by the Youth Justice Board, is also the Director of Operations of Pro-tect Systems, established in 2000 to act as the sole United Kingdom distributor for all Taser International products.
Answer

I understand that he is. The Youth Justice Board retained Mr Boatman’s services because he is a recognised expert on restraint techniques. He and his fellow consultant Mr Tony Bleetman, a consultant surgeon, had earlier provided advice to the police inquiry into the death of Gareth Myatt.
