Chief Minister Terry Le Sueur.

THE decision to suspend former police chief Graham Power was valid and justified, Chief Minister Terry Le Sueur told the States yesterday.

The Senator was answering questions about the independent report by employment law specialist Brian Napier QC into the manner of the suspension which found that procedural errors had been made when it took place.

The Chief Minister said: ‘I acknowledge that Mr Napier suggested that there could have been procedural errors during the suspension, but he also said there was no evidence of a conspiracy. The suspension has been shown to be totally valid and justified, with the Wiltshire Report providing proof of that.’
