MAYORAL AIDE ROW RUMBLES ON.
The Metropolitan police announced this week that they were not going to conduct a criminal inquiry in to the actions of Mayoral aide Lee Jasper, despite Ken Livingstone having asked them to do so.
The police said there been “no criminal allegations reported to us in connection with this individual.”
The Mayor at a meeting of the full London Assembly on Wednesday morning rejected Liberal Democrat Assembly leader Mike Tuffrey’s suggestion that he reinstate Lee Jasper.
“If the Mayor was certain that Lee Jasper had not acted illegally, then surely he has wasted police time with this matter” said Mike. “The allegations made about Mr Jasper cannot be swept under the carpet by the Mayor, and I want to make sure that there exists no reason for Lee Jasper not to appear before the London Assembly on March 5th as we conduct a detailed scrutiny into the issues.”
Senior officers from the London Development Agency and senior Mayoral advisors, Simon Fletcher, Lee Jasper and John Ross will appear before the London Assembly on March 5th. More details at http://tinyurl.com/2gake9
