The idea for the five-year policy came from Coun Nigel Dawkins (Con, Bournville) who said: “There is no evidence available from these states. Perhaps they should have five years of good behaviour in this country before we consider them.”
The committee agreed officers should investigate whether such a policy would meet with human rights legislation.
Isn't there a council somewhere in the country already doing something similar to this?
I thought I'd read it somewhere in the last couple of months, possibly on this Forum.
Our Nigel is a very inquisitive sort; asks all the awkward questions in committee, but the right ones. I've grown to admire his style over the last few years. He even stopped Tesco Express from having an liquour licence in Bournville (Quaker country).
And he's the prospective Conservative candidate at the next general election for Selly Oak constituency. A name to watch, me thinks.
