The family of a former clay worker from St Austell has been awarded more than £50,000 compensation, following his death four years ago from industrial disease, lawyers for the family say.

Walter Patton, from St Austell, died in February 2013, aged 83. An inquest into this death found he died from kaolin pneumoconiosis, which was linked to his time working in the china clay industry in the 1950s and 1960s.

Mr Patton worked for ECLP, now known as Imerys Minerals Ltd, which has agreed to pay his family £52,000 in compensation, Irwin Mitchell Solicitors said.

Mr Patton's son said he remembered his father "struggling with breathlessness in the years leading up to his death".

The Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner has told BBC Radio Berkshire that people "wouldn't just sit back and watch somebody killing people if you could put a stop to it".

His comments come after a row resulting from Devon and Cornwall's police commissioner saying she would "really be interested" in gun owners acting as armed civilians in the event of a terror attack.

Devon and Cornwall's Alison Hernandez made the comments during a radio phone-in on Monday. She has since said her comments were "misinterpreted".

Talking about the recent London and Manchester attacks, Thames Valley Police Commissioner Anthony Stansfeld (pictured) said: "In great big rural areas like Devon and Cornwall, and parts of the Thames Valley, you're not going to get police there absolutely straight away with a gun.

"If somebody was walking down the main street shooting everybody - or probably knifing them is more appropriate, as that's what happened in London - if you had a gun available to you, are you going to sit there and let them get on with it for the next half an hour?"

He was then asked that if a local farmer was there, and they knew they had a gun, should they take action.

Mr Stansfeld replied: "I think if he had an opportunity and he was absolutely certain that he knew what he was doing at the time, and he'd have to answer for it afterwards, I think probably yes. I mean, you wouldn't just sit back and watch somebody killing people if you could put a stop to it.

"I think that is reasonable, but I think we have to be very careful that what we're not doing is trying to set up vigilante armed groups, because that would be disastrous."

Medical and end-of-life care at the Royal Cornwall Hospital is inadequate, according to the Care Quality Commission watchdog.

In its latest report, inspectors also found patients were facing unacceptable waits to be diagnosed, treated, admitted and discharged.

Chief executive Kathy Byrne said she and staff were going to make the necessary improvements, but added it was important people understood exactly what was inspected and the report did not "reflect the entirety of our care".

She said: "This was three services surveyed, and whilst I'm not shying away from the harsh reality of the report, it is important to keep in perspective that there are many other services that are doing really, really well."

A police officer was not dismissed in a misconduct hearing after being convicted of drink-driving because "each case must be heard on the evidence and circumstances taken in totality specific to the individual", a Devon and Cornwall Police report says.

The officer was involved in a road traffic collision, and charged and convicted of driving a vehicle with excess alcohol. In the hearing held last month at the force's headquarters near Exeter, the officer was given a final written warning.

In a report, the police force said Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer had made clear that the seriousness of the offence meant there was an "organisational and public expectation" of dismissal.

"Even so, each case must be heard on the evidence and circumstances taken in totality specific to the individual," it read.

"In these particular and rare circumstances, following an examination of the facts and mitigation, the chief constable concluded that the appropriate sanction in this case was a final written warning for the officer."

The report did not include details about the location or date of the road traffic collision, how much the officer was over the alcohol limit, where the court case was heard or whether the officer was on duty or not.

The Bloodhound supersonic car is due to run at a mere couple of hundred miles and hour when it undergoes a series of "slow speed" trials on Newquay Airport's runway later this year.

Engineers want to shake down the vehicle's systems before heading out to South Africa next year to try to break the land speed record.

This stands at 763mph (1,228km/h), and Bloodhound, external's aim is to raise the mark in two stages - by getting first to 800mph and then to 1,000mph.

Driver Andy Green will take the car up to about 200mph in Cornwall using just its Eurofighter-Typhoon jet engine.

Engineers see the Newquay event, due in October, as an important opportunity to gain some key early data on a rolling Bloodhound.
