Headquarters

24th May 1999

Dear Mr Seager,

Fire Service Discipline Regulations

I am writing to you in your capacity as Brigade Investigating officer. I am in possession of two recent letters, copies of which are enclosed, from the union’s solicitors Thompsons, dated the 18th May 1999 and 22nd May 1999. Within these two letters are allegations that a number of suffolk Fire service personnel, namely T/ADO Saward, DO Hodge, DCO smith and CFO Alcock, have breached the 1985 Fire Services (Discipline) Regulations.

In light of these letters and on behalf of Suffolk FBU brigade committee, I would ask that the allegations contained in the aforementioned letters be investigated, under the 1985 Fire Service (Discipline) Regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Yours sincerely

Chris Hayward
Brigade secretary, Suffolk FBU
