Councillors

[edit]

An interesting article. Do you have any info on whether the surcharged councillors paid up or somehow avoided it? Pontificake (talk) 19:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Because of the rules of surcharge ('joint and several liability') the total amount surcharged was considered as one and if one of the councillors went bankrupt the others had to pick up their share. There were collections within the Labour movement and on the left to help pay the surcharge, and in Lambeth some of the councillors themselves were wealthy enough to pay more than their immediate share (Bill Bowring owned family investments, for instance). Lambeth and Liverpool were somewhat different: the Lambeth councillors were mostly young, in their 20s and 30s, while Liverpool councillors were older.
