(Picture: PA Archive)An official review into the way that Cressida Dick was ousted from her role as Britain’s top police officer was announced on Monday as Home Secretary Priti Patel said she wanted to find out whether proper procedures were followed by London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
Ms Patel — who also announced that Dame Cressida’s deputy, Sir Stephen House, will take over as interim Commissioner when Dame Cressida departs in April — said the probe would be conducted by the former chief inspector of constabulary, Sir Tom Winsor, and aim to produce findings by the summer.
