 | | David Kenworthy, head of North Yorkshire police, whose predecessor David Burke was facing disciplinary action over discrimination when he retired in 1996, sat alongside Sergeant Nicola - formerly Chris - Lamb at the pioneering get-together. |
 | | Mr Kenworthy said that it was a sensitive and poignant time for Sergeant Lamb because she was "actually making the transition at the moment"; it is understood senior officers were worried that she might be followed and covertly photographed. |
 | | North Yorkshire lost three sex discrimination cases brought by women officers in the last years of Mr Burke's administration, including one which led to compensation of more than £100,000. |
