Dear Crawley Borough Council,
John McDonnell pledged at a parliamentary meeting in early September to write to every Labour-run local authority in England, asking them to ring-fence government money they receive to compensate for the ILF closure.
But McDonnell’s office has refused to answer questions about the letter, and none of the Labour-run councils contacted by Disability News Service (DNS) so far has been able to find any record of receiving such a letter.
1. Has Crawley Borough Council received such a letter?
2. Do any Labour councillors know anything about this letter?
Yours faithfully,
Geoff Lovell
