Description

Westminster City Council leader Shirley Porter responds to the report on the Building Stable Communities/Homes for Votes scandal in which she was said to be encouraging Conservative votes, partly through the extremely cheap price cemeteries were sold at. She denies the report is a whitewash and says it does not blame anyone in particular but cites bad communication. Female interviewer not identified. Audio slightly muffled.
