@Anon...@Anon 10:33 <br />I'll make some enquiries. <br /><br />@Anon 11.10<br />I have written to the Police Commissioner, Christopher Salmon, for advice on whether the details of the investigation and the final report can, or will, be disclosed.<br />caebrwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233902574832152764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-15178505911591109042014-05-08T11:10:39.889+01:002014-05-08T11:10:39.889+01:00Surely what the Police have done is decide that no...Surely what the Police have done is decide that no individual is criminally liable for the unlawful payments and that there would be no prospect of a successful prosecution.<br /><br />It wasn't mentioned but I wonder if a file of evidence was submitted to the CPS for advice or was the decision made by the Police. Were individuals interviewed under caution I wonder ?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-82673183615082734422014-05-08T10:33:58.629+01:002014-05-08T10:33:58.629+01:00An FOI request should find out who wrote the state...An FOI request should find out who wrote the statement.

Not one person in this county now has a leg to stand on and can be driven into the ground because they lack the finances to pursue legal action. The only way the people of Carmarthenshire can stop this rot is at the ballot box at the next elections. Plaid need to get their act together and fight for the people's votes while this scandal is still fresh in people's minds.

Also, on our behalf, they have decided that the payments were not unlawful as the government auditors claim.<br /><br />But legal here does not mean moral.<br /> <br />It is surely shameful that in a time of austerity when many struggle in poverty, our executive Councillors, clearly not fans of Robin Hood, have managed to take from the poor and give to the rich. <br />Sian Caiachnoreply@blogger.com
