Ealing Council Housing Inquiry (No. 2)

EDM number 940 in 1995-96, proposed by Harry Greenway on 04/06/1996.

That this House recognises that a report by Ealing Council into efforts to manipulate the housing list by two Labour councillors, who are prospective parliamentary Labour candidates, shows that their conduct in this matter was extremely su spect and inappropriate and that it further shows that both of these individuals attended court in order to seek to influence legal proceedings instituted by the council to evict unlawful tenants; recognises that their efforts to retain known Labour voters in an illegal council tenancy with the deliberate aim of increasing Labour Party support in the Perivale Ward of Ealing was unfair to the 10,000 people on the housing waiting list and political gerrymandering of the gravest kind; and calls upon the National Executive of the Labour party to examine their suitability as prospective parliamentary candidates.

This motion has been signed by a total of 6 MPs.
