Sir Bert Massie Resigns From EHRC

July 20, 2009

Sir Bert Massie, the former head of the Disability Rights Commission, finally resigned from the Equality and Human Rights Commission on Saturday 18th July, over the reappointment of  Trevor Phillips as the Commission’s Chair.

In his resignation letter to Harriet Harman, the minister for equalities, Massie said he had long been concerned about “corporate governance” at the EHRC, adding: “The chairman’s conduct in various ways has damaged the commission’s external reputation.”

Trevor Phillips was not available for comment.
