Newham Council and the Rehabilitation of Offenders

Cllr Mumtaz Khan

It’s good to see that Newham Labour is doing its bit to rehabilitate offenders.

Back in 2003 Ms Khan was living in Cambridgeshire. By some accident she made a fraudulent housing benefit claim, acquiring over £2000 in benefits whilst she owned a property in London. She also claimed to be paying rent to a letting agency. It seems that the letting agency was owned by her brother.  Alas, the fraud investigators found out and Ms Khan was convicted but escaped prison, serving 100 hours of community service instead.
