"Will the Minister inform Members why a recently appointed senior police officer left his post after serving only a few days, how much did his appointment, including travel expenses, cost, who was responsible for the appointment and given that the appointment has not been filled since the last Senior Investigating officer departed last summer, how can the post be justified?"
