CONDUCT OF THE HONOURABLE MEMBER FOR HACKNEY NORTH AND STOKE NEWINGTON AND MEDWAY HOUSING SOCIETY

That this House notes that it is now 11 months since the honourable Member for Hackney North and Stoke Newington tabled motions calling for an investigation into the sale by Rochester upon Medway City Council of its housing stock to the Medway Housing Society; recalls that the honourable Member alleged that the ratepayers had been defrauded by this transaction of millions of pounds and that the Leader of the Council and its Chief Executive 'were in breach of their fiduciary duty'; further notes that at no time has the honourable Member repeated these allegations outside the protection of Parliamentary privilege but was nevertheless supported in his accusations by the local Labour Party, including Councillor Tim Robson and Mr Marshall Andrewes QC; further notes that the transaction has been the subject of an investigation by the District Auditor; calls upon the District Auditor to complete and publish his Report without further delay; notes with surprise that the honourable Member has not sought early publication of the Report; urges the honourable Member for Hackney North and Stoke Newington and Messrs Robson and Andrewes to join in seeking it; and confidently expects them to give the Report as much publicity as they gave to their earlier comments.
