Oral Question to Cllr John Lines:
“
Watch live video from bcc_meetings on Justin.tv”

“I was pleased to discover that Birmingham City Council prosecuted a landlord for failing to apply for a House in Multiple Occupation license for a property on Turville Road in my ward. He was fined £500 with £2,000 costs and his tenants can now apply for a Rent Repayment Order to recover money to him.
What message do you have for such individuals who fail to apply for the HMO license?
Supplementary Question:
I was shocked to discover that the landlord that was prosecuted in this case was actually the Liberal Democrat Candidate who stood against me, and has stood for the Liberal Democrats in the Lozells & East Handsworth Ward on no less than 4 occasions. In fact, he was endorsed by your colleague Cllr. Graham Green at a husting in Lozells leading up to the 2011 election.
What advice do you have for Cllr. Graham Green when it comes to endorsing Liberal Democrat Local Election Candidates who have failed to comply with Housing Licensing regulations?”

Two Sisters Food Group, supplier of M&S, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, etc, sacked 59 Unite the Union members for standing up to racist comments from the firms security guard towards a Unite Shop Steward.
Jack Dromey, Deputy Secretary of Unite the Union and Gerard Coyne, Secretary of West Midlands Unite the Union led the protest along with hundreds of campaigners for the sacked workers outside Marks & Spencers at High St, Birmingham for M&S to intervene and pressurise their supplier to re-instate the sacked workers and tackle racism on the shop floors.
Joe Clarke, Regional Industrial Organiser for the Unite Branch at Two Sisters has been a fantastic leader and representative during this tough period of time. Most of the sacked work-force have only ever worked at 2 Sisters since beginning employment in this country and have been loyal workers for the company. Many have low skills and would find it very difficult to gain employment elsewhere.
