Description
Michael McCann is a British Labour Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament for East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow since 2010, succeeding Adam Ingram.
February 2011, saw a BBC Scotland News investigation into the relationship between McCann and James Kean, a local property developer and Labour Party donor. Mr McCann did not declare a relationship whilst he was a councillor, serving on the planning and estates committees in South Lanarkshire. During Mr McCann's tenure numerous applications related to Mr Kean came before committee.
It was also alleged that the Labour MP intervened vigorously in a dispute between Mr Kean and a rival bidder over a supermarket application that stood to earn the victor around �18 million. The bid involving Mr Kean?s company, Kean Properties, was eventually granted planning permission in October 2010. Kean Properties is registered at the same address in nearby Cambuslang as Kilbride Construction - owned by Mr Kean?s brother Paul, also a Labour party donor.
