Reports into Unite’s Birmingham hotel find ‘potential criminality’

Union to share information from independent reports into near-100m construction with police

Unite has passed information to the police after two independent reports into the construction of a near-100m hotel and conference centre in Birmingham uncovered what the union said were very serious concerns about potential criminality".

The trade union's plan to build the 170-room complex - which begun under the leadership of former general secretary Len McCluskey - was forecast in 2015 to cost about 35m, but is now expected to run to 98m.
