Revealed: Epping hotel judge ran socialist think tank linked to Labour
Lord Justice Bean, who has ruled migrants can stay at Essex site, is former chair of Fabian Society
A judge who ruled migrants can stay in an Essex hotel was the chairman of a prominent socialist think tank.
On Friday, Lord Justice Bean and two other Court of Appeal judges ruled that an injunction banning the Bell Hotel from housing asylum seekers should be overturned.
The ruling was a legal victory for the Home Office and has prevented the Government’s asylum policy from being plunged into chaos.
The son of High Court judge Sir George Bean, the Cambridge-educated Lord Justice Bean was chair of the 141-year-old Fabian Society from 1989-90.
The society works very closely with Labour, is an affiliated party organisation and its membership is predominantly made up of Labour members. Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, also previously served as chair of its commission.
