MPs Call Minister to give evidence on Winsor appointment
19 June 2012
The Home Affairs Committee has today invited Police Minister, Rt Hon Nick Herbert MP, to give evidence before Tom Winsor's pre-appointment hearing for the post of HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary.
The Minister will be questioned on the Government's reasons for selecting Mr Winsor for the post, and the future role of HM Inspectorate.
He has been invited to appear at 11.15 am on Tuesday 26 June. View the copy of the invitation.
Committee Chair, Rt Hon Keith Vaz MP, said
"The Committee feels that it will be most helpful to hear from Mr Herbert about why the Government believes that Mr Winsor is the right person for the job.
The Minister has made a number of public statements and it would be good to have these expended before we hear from Mr Winsor."
