Assistant Chief Constable David Duncan said Sir Iain Livingstone's admission was 'a real tangible step forward into making progress'

Mr Duncan added: “People have described this to us as a bit of a drag, an albatross around the neck, if you don’t recognise the problems that you have. He would not be drawn on whether other forces in Britain should follow Police Scotland’s “leadership” in the area.
