I appreciate that the Winsor Review & all the controversy surrounding it is not the main subject of this thread,
but as Police Air Support is one of many Policing functions directly affected by the Winsor proposals,
and therefore affects NPAS, I feel that it is worthy of further discussion here .....

SID - In your quote from the BBC news, you missed off the following paragraph from further down the page :

Vested interest'
The home secretary was asked about his appointment by delegate Sarah Adams at the conference in Bournemouth.
Ms Adams said: "When you appointed Tom Winsor to carry out your independent review of policy,
did you know that the law firm Tom Winsor is part of, which is White and Case,
was negotiating the multi-million groundbreaking deal for G4S with Lincolnshire Police?
"How can it be fair and independent if there's a vested interest?"
Mrs May said: "Tom Winsor did his review entirely independently.
He did not do that review as part of the firm -
he did it as an individual.
That last bit ...... ???

It doesn't quite ring true with the information provided on your other post,
obtained from the Home Office, under a Freedom of Information application asking
"…how much Tom Winsor has either been paid or will be paid to carry out his review
on remuneration and conditions of service for police officers and staff in England and Wales?"

The reply to which was :

I am able to disclose the following information:
The law firm White and Case, at which Tom Winsor is a partner,
will receive £300 per day for his services.
Has Theresa May got her facts wrong ?

Is she lying ?

Along with Mr. Herbert who is forcing NPAS through, what else are they NOT telling us ?
What other facts have they got wrong ? What else might they by LYING about ????

It will be interesting to see how the Police Federation handle this one



p.s. At 1'18" in the Dizzy video - is that a Yorkshire NPAS infiltrator ?
