"No reason whatsoever for pay off" - Dee Doocey AM1.05.00pm GMT Mon 10th Nov 2008 Commenting on the reports that the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Sir Ian Blair is in line to get a lump sum payment of £295,000, and a potential £100,000 in bonuses Liberal Democrat London Assembly member Dee Doocey, and member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, said: "I can see no reason whatsoever to pay off somebody who has resigned. I can see even less reason to pay them bonuses that they might have been entitled to in the next year or so." "If any other employee told their boss they were resigning, there would be absolutely no question of them being given a payoff, let alone a bonus. Why should there be one rule for the chief of police and another for every other worker?" "In this economic climate it is frankly a disgrace that this is even being considered."
