Dear Mr Wigglesworth,


I refer to your letter dated 15th June 1999

With regard to the first page of your letter, I have nothing further to add to the points made in my letter dated 10th June.

I was asked by the Brigade Investigating Officer to invite Mr. Jackson to attend the Hearing on 20th July in the capacity of an assessor. Regulation 9, paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Fire Services Discipline Regulations 1985 permit such an arrangement. In your capacity as Mr. Hyde’s representative you will, of course, have the opportunity to hear any comments, advice or information given by Mr Jackson at the Hearing.

Please be aware that the Hearing of Mr. Hyde’s case is scheduled to take place on 20th July 1999. To date, none of the witnesses ordered to attend have indicated their unavailability. I would, howver, draw your attention again to the reference in my letter to Mr. Hyde (dated 14th June) regarding the possible unavailability of one individual.

Mr Seager is currently away on annual leave. I have, however, gained access to his letter dated 10th May. I can see no commitment to copy all correspondence to Mr. Jones. Should you wish to do so at your own expense (or that of the FBU), I have no objection.

Yours sincerely



Sarah Davies
