Confirmation hearing for CFO

The request was partially successful.

Dear Cumbria County Council,

I refer to the meeting of the Police and Crime Panel on 28 March 2017 and the erroneous decision of said Panel to send a private letter regarding a public appointment to the position of CFO to the PCC. Can you confirm the details of this letter as no mention of it appears in the minutes of the meeting and also please advise the paragraphs you rely upon to keep this out of the public eye. I am interested in how the public interest test was applied in this instance and what the advice of the Monitoring Officer was. Can this letter now be published and if not, why not.

Yours faithfully,

C Schuse
