Abuse report policeman wanted a job in Jersey

A SENIOR UK policeman whose report praised Lenny Harper’s running of the historical child abuse inquiry was about to apply for a job in Jersey, it was revealed yesterday.

Home Affairs Minister Ian Le Marquand told the States yesterday that there was a ‘potential conflict of interest’ on the part of the author of the ACPO – Association of Chief Police Officers – report.

In response to a question from Deputy Bob Hill, which was held over from the previous States sitting, Senator Le Marquand said that the officer involved might have tailored the report to please his prospective employers.

Deputy Hill asked what the ‘scandal’ was that the Senator had referred to on a radio programme. Senator Le Marquand said: ‘The issue to which I alluded was an issue of whether there was a conflict of interest on the part of the senior officer. ‘That officer was about to apply in Jersey for a senior post in the States of Jersey Police.’

Syvret out of States

Syvret out of States

Jersey politician Senator Stuart Syvret has been kicked out of the States.

He's currently living in self imposed exile in London, and because he hasn't been in the island for the past six months he's automatically excluded from the States.

The former senator fled to the UK after being charged with motoring and data protection offences. He claims he can't get a fair trial in Jersey.

On Friday the Royal Court will fix a date for the by-election.

Senator Syvret was the longest serving senator and had been in the House for more than 20 years.

Stuart Syvret disqualified from office

By Ben Quérée

SENATOR Stuart Syvret’s 20-year States career came to an end today. The head of the Privileges and Procedures Committee formally announced in the States that the poll-topping Senator had been disqualified from office after spending six months away from the Island.

Juliette Gallichan, the Constable of St Mary, said that the former Senator would receive his States’ pay for one more month.

Mr Syvret left Jersey in October, saying that he was claiming ‘political and legal asylum’ in London because he could not get a fair trial on the data protection and motoring charges that he faces. Those charges are now on hold, and his arrest has been ordered in Jersey after he failed to turn up to court hearings.

In statements made on his internet blog Mr Syvret, who has been posting for some time as ‘ex-Senator Stuart Syvret’ and whose name was not included at roll-call when the States convened this morning, has said that he would wait to become disqualified from office and then stand in the resulting by-election to finish the last 18 months of the term.
