    Marc Jones has issued a statement saying that Stuart Tweedale will be his deputy despite the Police and Crime panel refusing to endorse him.

    As previously stated the panel had concerns over professional competence and personal independence.

    Quote Message

    It is regrettable that due to restrictions within the legislation the panel were placed in a very difficult position of passing judgement on Stuart's suitability based on the narrowest of criteria which do not include the key aspects required to excel in a role which I know he will."
