Tory Leader of Rutland County Council Distributes Private Email sent by Cllr Richardson about the Death of Aman Mehra

Cllr Richardson write to Tory Cllr Pocock:

You are also the Chairman of the Employment and Appeals Committee. We have
tried to bring to your attention a most serious case which has resulted in one of the
most Senior Directors taking his own life, this, by its very nature, has to be of grave
concern and one would expect you as  Chairman to be actively working to look into
this matter to see if any lessons can be learnt and also to ensure that best practice
has been upheld. From what we have ascertained to date, best practice and
compliance with employment law has not been upheld, that in itself is most serious.
if correct. It was essential that Councillors were fully briefed and the matter fully
investigated to also ensure there is no possible legal challenge.

In the Military this would have been taken most seriously and a Board of Enquiry
convened to ascertain the facts and ensure any lessons to be learnt were
highlighted i order to change procedure if necessary. However, despite this being
under your watch you appear to distance yourself from it and not accept
your responsibilities.
