Conservative councillors in Hounslow have called for a full investigation into Labour colleague Farhaan Rehman’s failure to declare his position at three property companies.
The former chair of the licensing committee, who resigned the post last month after he parked a Lamborghini in a disabled bay at the council offices without displaying a valid blue badge, was listed as a director with three firms whose business is ‘other letting and operating of own or leased real estate’.
However, Hounslow Labour says he did not need to declare them and Rehman insists he did not benefit financially from his directorships, My London reports.
According to information on Companies House, Rehman was appointed to his position at Eminence Investments in September 2023 and served as director for almost 17 months. The company is still listed as active.
He was appointed at Fafr Properties in October 2023 and resigned 16 months later, and served as a director at TW3 Services for 15 months until January. Both companies were dissolved in September.
Prior to Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) enquiries, the only interests listed by Rehman were his membership of a local mosque, and the GMB Union. This has since been updated to reflect an interest in land, but the three directorships have never been listed.
Hounslow Council’s constitution states that councillors must declare financial interests and register other personal interests and unpaid directorships.
A spokesperson for Hounslow Labour says these companies never became active beyond registration. “Councillor Rehman has insisted that he never undertook any work and did not benefit financially before he resigned as a director in January 2025.”
Conservative Councillor Jack Emsley believes the explanation given by Hounslow Labour “doesn’t wash”, arguing that Rehman’s position has become untenable, although no finding of wrongdoing has been made by the council or by Labour.
“There must now be a full investigation by the council into his failure to declare interests,” he adds.
Rehman did not respond to requests for comment from the LDRS.
