As link member for Bromley, I just wonder, Lord Harris, whether in fact you have the right information. The Chief Superintendent has managed to change the duty roster and he also has a charging unit for the sergeant that runs it so that when an officer comes in with an offender he is handed over to the charging unit.

Are you suggesting that had no controversy come up about the cannabis pilots, had no controversy come up from allegations from a former partner, all the rest of it - had this controversy not arisen, then Commander Paddick would still be removed from Lambeth anyway?
