Motion text

That this House notes that Cornwall Council was sent a draft parliamentary motion critical of the Council and its Chief Executive Andrew Kerr in relation to the treatment of a woman with learning disabilities; further notes that after receiving the draft the Council, apparently in revenge, commenced a baseless investigation into the father of the woman for sexual abuse despite knowing he had never been alone with her; further notes that the investigation has now been dropped; deplores the suffering caused to the family by the council officer responsible, Dr Brickchand Ramruttun; reminds Cornwall Council of the need to respect the proceedings of Parliament; and calls for the Care Quality Commission to investigate urgently the behaviour of the authority in respect of this case.
