Suggested amendment
leave out from `House' to end and add `recognises that allocating council housing on the basis of political preferment is totally wrong; welcomes Councillor Payne's apology for his actions and honourably resigning; recognises that no action was taken by the council who have acted quite properly in objectively examining this case; applauds the swift action of the Labour Leader of Ealing Council in establishing an independent inquiry into the housing allocations system which is being supported by all political parties on Ealing Council; contrasts this one off mistake by a new inexperienced councillor with Tory controlled Westminster Council's secret policy of housing homeless people in asbestos ridden tower blocks and gerrymandering the movement of families to secure Tory political control of Westminster Council; and regards Tory condemnation of Ealing Council as a classic case of Tory hypocrisy.'.
Original motion text
That this House deplores the pressure upon Ealing Council by a Labour councillor to house labour voters in a property to which they have no entitlement; further deplores that councillor's written statement that the same Labour Council should be building up Labour Party support in his ward by manipulation of the housing waiting list; supports the fury of people on Ealing Council's housing waiting list who regard this cheating as depriving them of the council home they need; and further regrets that Ealing Council have lost the file relevant to the case in advance of an official inquiry into this scandal.
