My concerns relate to my Labour M.P Andrew
Gwynne,who became an M.P last year after spending a few years as an
aid to Andrew Bennett M.P
Besides being a Labour M.P he is also a Tameside
Councillor in Greater Manchester and has been so these past several
years.
A close collegue of Andrew Gwynne M.P on the
Council is Councillor Brenda Warrington who lives in the same road,and is
the
Chair of the Denton and Reddish Labour Party,a
Labour Party Member since 1975,and a representative in a variety of
other
organisations,Amicus MSF
section Member,Member Of The National Executive
Committee,Member of Employment Tribunal Panels,and both Andrew Gwynne
M.P and Councillor and Labour M.P and Councillor Brenda
Warrington,must know the requirement for
openness,accountability,and probity,so it was
suprising when I checked my M.P`s Register of Interests,and especially the House
of Commons Registers "Registers of Interests of Members Secretaries and Research
Assistants" where against my MP`s name
it showed a Billie Barnes,(who I have no knowledge
of and who suddenly vanished between the Jan 2006 registers and the Feb 2006 registers) and Brenda Warrington,who against her declaration of interests it
shows "None".
Unless Brenda Warrington has refused to accept her
Councillor salary,and other money relating to her other Council appointed
posts,plus refusals of payments for other organisation duties,how
strange she has "None" when it comes down to House of Commons interests
declarations.
I E.Mailed my MP,explaining what I had found,but
that was on February 16th,and to date he has chosen not to
reply,therefore
I have passed the matter to the Parliamentary
Commissioner for Standards,and I await an outcome.
Because as an ex-labour supporter these past 40
years,I discovered certain irregularities relating to Tameside Council,such as
as the Council Leader and Labour Leader for 25 years,had not declared his
interests for almost 12 years,which were seen as considerable when I exposed the
facts,and other details I persued with the Regional Auditor,yet nothing happened
even though
Blair and Ministers were informed,so I am doubting
whether this latest issue concerning my M.P and Councillor Brenda
Warrington
will also get shoved under the carpet.
Surprisingly enough local press prefer not to
print confirmed and documented disclosures,perhaps maybe because of the
advertising revenue they receive from Tameside Council,but thats another
story.
