From the Revd Paul Collier
Sir, - Further to "New tenure found inflexible" (News, 28 February): in
2011, I was given a temporary appointment under common tenure. In
order to prevent my exercising my right to remain permanently in
post, I was simply asked to sign a letter of resignation at the
same time as my licensing.
As I was quite happy to accept a temporary position, there was
no difficulty in this arrangement. It may not have been a cast-iron
legal arrangement, but it surely provided a reasonable
compromise.
