A STATES question has been submitted asking if States chief executive Bill Ogley should be suspended for allegedly destroying his hand-written notes of a meeting involving suspended police chief Graham Power.

St Helier Deputy Trevor Pitman has sent his question to the States Greffe requesting that it be asked in the Chamber next week.

He wants to know if Chief Minister Terry Le Sueur is prepared to order an independent inquiry into the events surrounding the suspension of Mr Power. He also wants to ask whether Senator Le Sueur is prepared to suspend Mr Ogley for the destruction of the notes as ‘a neutral act’ in the same way that Mr Power has been suspended.

A States debate prompted by a proposal from St Helier Constable Simon Crowcroft was held in camera last week about events surrounding the suspension of Mr Power. The JEP revealed that during that debate it was stated that Mr Ogley had destroyed the hand-written notes of a meeting he attended between the police chief and former Home Affairs Minister Andrew Lewis. Senator Le Sueur has dismissed Deputy Pitman’s move as ‘mischief making’.
