Reviewing H&F Conservatives' approach to hospitality one year after H&F residents removed them from office



Former councillor Andrew Johnson's
(Con) hospitality register
listed below
On January 29 last year the borough's former Conservative administration voted to keep enjoying hospitality from property firms and other businesses Hammersmith and Fulham Council was or had been courted by. Five months later the Conservatives were voted out of office giving Labour a land slide victory in a borough that had been known as "Cameron's favourite council".

Labour councillors immediately changed the rules and banned hospitality from property developers. We wanted to get an insight into the types of things Conservative councillors had been enjoying so here below is the hospitality record of former councillor Andrew Johnson who up until 2014 had been the borough's cabinet member for housing and a former member of it's planning committee. You can view the link to Mr Johnson's hospitality register here.

Andrew Johnson was voted out of office on 22 May 2014.

We may well review the gifts and hospitality register of other Conservatives over the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, as well as refusing all hospitality, the borough's Labour councillors have taken a more forthright approach in dealing with property developers as we can read about here. We'll be reviewing that in the coming weeks.
