Chief Minister questioned over Dean investigation

UNITED KINGDOM
Jersey Evening Post

PRESSURE will today be put on the Chief Minister to express concern about the way the Bishop of Winchester has handled an investigation into the conduct of the Dean.

In the States this afternoon, Deputy John Le Fondré was due to ask Chief Minister Ian Gorst two questions relating to the Steel report, which the Bishop is currently refusing to release to anyone – even those directly involved such as the Dean – after a legal approach by an ‘interested party’.

The Bishop, the Right Rev Tim Dakin, has confirmed that no disciplinary action will be taken against the Dean, the Very Rev Bob Key, following the investigation into his handling of a complaint of abuse by a churchwarden on a vulnerable woman.
