Humberside Police Authority in Britain today delayed making a decision on the future of its chief constable until the completion of legal proceedings.

Humberside Police chief constable David Westwood insisted today he would not be resigning from his post despite pressure in the aftermath of the Soham murder case.

A British police force at the centre of the inquiry into how Ian Huntley was able to get a job as a school caretaker today said it would be willing to acknowledge mistakes.
