Kent inquiry
[edit]We should have a section, however brief on the Kent inquiry. This was an inquiry by the Kent Constabulary into the Met's first investigation, with which issues were found. As well as its own relevance, it informed the McPherson inquiry, which is hard to cover properly without this foundation. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 08:22, 29 July 2024 (UTC).
Clifford Norris arrest
[edit]We should also cover the Clifford Norris arrest and conviction, in a short section, as this was prioritised by the then SIO to reduce the intimidation of potential witnesses. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 11:13, 29 July 2024 (UTC).
Her or His?
[edit]Is the usage of the term 'at Her Majesty's pleasure' correct in this sentence in the third paragraph?
'On 3 January 2012, Dobson and Norris were found guilty of Lawrence's murder; the pair were juveniles at the time of the crime and were sentenced to detention at Her Majesty's pleasure, equivalent to a life sentence for an adult, with minimum terms of 15 years 2 months and 14 years 3 months respectively for what the judge described as a "terrible and evil crime".'
Currently it would be his, but since the conviction happened during Elizabeth the II's reign would it be technically correct to use 'her'?
Just asking because it is linked to an article which immediately uses the words "At His Majesty's pleasure."
