Leicester Labour helps Robert Wann avoid disqualification

On Friday I reported that Robert Wann, the former Lord Mayor of Leicester, faced disqualification from the city council for not attending a meeting in six months if he failed to find one to attend before 17 November.

Guess what happened next?

This evening the Leicester Mercury website tells us:

The Labour group's whip Councillor Barbara Potter arranged for him to sit in on tonight's Economic Development, Culture and Tourism Scrutiny Commission. Coun Wann is not a regular member of that committee but stood in for another member who was unwell.
