Dear Mr Morgan

Fire Services (Discipline) Regulations 1985. – Disciplinary Hearing Before Disciplinary Tribunal.

Re : Sub Officer (854) Anthony David Wigglesworth, Training Department, Lowestoft.

Thank you for your letter of 29th September 1998 regarding the disciplinary hearing in respect of Sub Officer Wigglesworth.

I note that Sub officer Wigglesworth has named me as a potential witness. May I bring to your attention the conflict of interest, as I had examined Sub Officer Wigglesworth on the express instructions of Deputy Chief Fire Officer Smith, at Bury St Edmunds Fire Station on 15th September 1998, in order to personally brief him as to sub Officer Wigglesworth’s fitness for operational duties. I was not responsible for, and took absolutely no part in these arrangements.

In the circumstances I wish to indicate my unwillingness to attend a disciplinary hearing under these circumstances.


Yours sincerely
