Cllr Haqeeq Dar
SLOUGH Labour has confirmed the former deputy mayor no longer sits as a Labour member while he is under investigation. Last week, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) understood Wexham Lea councillor Haqeeq Dar was suspended by central Labour pending investigation into complaints. It was not made clear when and the reasons why he was suspended. Slough Labour has revealed to the LDRS that Cllr Dar has been administratively suspended from the Labour Party on April 30 and no longer sits as a Labour councillor pending the outcome of the investigation. A Labour Group spokesperson said: “The Labour Group has received notice that Cllr Dar has been administratively suspended from the Labour Party on April 30th and is therefore no longer sitting as a Labour councillor pending the outcome of the investigation by the Labour Party.

A motion brought forward by the deputy leader of the council, councillor Sabia Akram (Labour: Elliman), was passed to write to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak demanding the £20 increase to Universal Credit is permanent. Cllr Akram said: “We often hear the Prime Minister saying he wants to ‘level up’ the UK – but when we judge the Government by its actions and not by its sound-bites, it’s hard to see with this regressive cut of £1,000 of welfare support to 8,125 Slough residents that he serious about it?”
