Cllr.Cyril Harrison, leader of the Labour Group on Harrow Council, publicly criticised the Harrow Observer at a meeting of the Education Sites and Buildings Sub-Committee on Wednesday.
His critism was directed at a report in last week's Midweek Observer informing the public that Harrow Council had approved the purchase of up to 20 houses to provide rented accomodation for the Ugandan Asian families wishing to live in the borough, subject to the Goverment and Uganda Resettlement Board accepting the expenditure involved for grant purposes.
Up to ten other houses were to be rented for limited periods to bridge the time lag between concluding negotiations and obtaining possession of the houses.
