Cameron Scott, Regional Director of the East of England Labour Party, has been asked to investigate 'serious allegations about incidents following the death of Cllr Tayo Oladapo' to establish the facts.
Scott has been asked to undertake the investigation because London Region staff are under pressure due to the Tooting by-election and the EU Referendum.
The Labour Group has been told that there is no intention to suspend anyone and 'this investigation implies no assumption of guilt ot wrongdoing' but it has to investigate allegations that have been received.
Councillors in the Labour Group have been asked to submit 'information or evidence they understand to be relevant to the allegations about the incidents.'
Cllr Butt already faces an independent inquiry by Richard Penn, a former local authority CEO.
