IN SETTING up a Newport Council fairness commission, you would expect Labour at least to follow the principle of equal opportunities. Despite not yet receiving approval from both the council cabinet and the full council, it appears a chairman has already been appointed.
While not disputing the expertise of Professor Steve Smith (having worked in the same organisation as him) surely the post needs to be advertised first? Otherwise, it cannot be seen as, erm, fair?
