Those acting for the Bishop of Winchester, the Right Rev Tim Dakin, are remaining tight lipped about the identity of the ‘interested party’ that made a legal representation not to have the report by Dame Heather Steel released to anyone, even those directly involved.
As a result of that approach the Bishop says that he cannot publish the report – the contents of which led to him announcing that no disciplinary action would be taken against the Dean – for legal reasons.
He has also refused to reveal to the JEP the identity of the interested party who made the request.
