Westminster's Labour councillors have called for an
enquiry after it was claimed that the borough's council has been placing

said: “Wealthy Westminster council receives about £8 million a year in
homelessness prevention grant, while Newham, which has been dealt the biggest
cuts in the country, gets just £700,000.” Read more on 24dash.
