BORIS ADVISER FACES 'RULES BREACH' ROW

摘要

Mayor of London Boris Johnson's senior planning adviser Simon Milton {pictured) has been accused of breaching local government employment rules. Milton, currently still leader of Westminster City Council, was one of the first appointments announced by the new London Mayor last Tuesday (6 May), and has been hugely critical of tall buildings during his time at the borough. Now opposition parties are calling for clarification of the appointment after it emerged that Milton would stand down as leader in June, but would stay on as a Conservative councillor, a move described by them as a 'direct breach' of the Widdecombe rules.
