To those given a voice by this inquiry, I am sorry

He was speaking in response to the damning Baird Inquiry which found a 'problematic culture' at GMP led to officers using the strip-searching of multiple women as 'a weapon of control' He said: "Firstly, I thank Dame Vera and those in the report for drawing together a number of critically important issues.

"To those given a voice by this inquiry who have not received the care and consideration they are entitled to: I am sorry.

"The issues raised in Dame Vera's report speaks to a period when our custody system was under pressure, not performing to an acceptable standard.

"It evidences poor systems, structures, and incivility, insensitivity and compounded by a lack of routine leadership, scrutiny, and individual examples of low standards, poor behaviour, insensitivity, and a lack of care in the face of vulnerability.
