Police have been asked to look into the issues raised in an undercover newspaper investigation involving East Devon councillor Graham Brown.
He was filmed secretly by the Daily Telegraph in his other, above-board, role as a planning consultant, hinting that he could influence the planning process.
The Conservative representative for Feniton and Buckerell was suspended from the Tory group on the council on Monday... but he remains a serving councillor.
Last night at a meeting of the Est Devon Business Forum scrutiny committee it was revealed that the district council had referred the matter to police.
