Philip David Allott (born December 1959) is a British politician who served as the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, England.
[2] He studied law at Leeds Metropolitan University as a mature student, and is married with a son and a daughter.
Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, Conservative MP for Skipton and Ripon Julian Smith, and The Northern Echo and The Yorkshire Post newspapers called for his resignation.
[16][17][18][19] The North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Panel, which lacks the ability to remove the commissioner, passed a unanimous vote of no confidence in him on 14 October, calling on him to "resign immediately".
Allott initially refused, responding that he thought he would be able to "regain trust",[20] but later the same day tendered his resignation from his post.
