Business question from Lord Spellar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 March 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The Leader of the House indicated that the Government might respond to the Hutton report in the Budget debate. Could he ask the relevant Minister to take into consideration the grotesque paradox whereby the Hutton report recommends raising the retirement age for uniformed personnel, yet a local paper, the Sandwell Chronicle, reports that West Midlands police, under Home Office diktat, are forcibly retiring Chief Superintendent Steve Dugmore, a first-class crime fighter, because rule A19 allows them to sack people after 30 years' service? Is that not absolutely absurd and don't they need to get their act together?
