Chief Minister Terry Le Sueur

THE independent UK consultants who investigated the death of Hospital nurse Elizabeth Rourke after a routine operation went wrong will determine which parts of the historical child abuse inquiry are to be examined and how.

Chief Minister Terry Le Sueur has agreed that Verita, who have been involved in high-profile cases including the Baby P inquiry, can set out the terms of reference of a committee of inquiry into historical child abuse.

Senator Le Sueur refused to say how much the work would cost but said it would be finished by the end of September.

With this man at the helm, we have a leader with a Statesman like air of gravitas that, combined with his eloquent oratory and robust ability to make tough decisions quickly, leaves us well set to sail the choppy waters ahead.

I have no doubt that this newest exercise involving a team of consultants will; be totally transparent, run smoothly and will leave all parties satisfied, whilst delivering the kind of value for money we expect.

How can he refuse to answer how much of our money he is spending?

Scandalous.
