Questions have been tabled in the House of Commons about any links that John Prescott might have had with the business of Johnathan Prescott. The Guardian reported "John Prescott was facing questions about his son's business dealings amid claims that he was cashing in on his father's house-building plans....There is no suggestion that the Deputy Prime Minister's son has done anything illegal. But shadow communities and local government minister Caroline Spelman said she would be tabling a series of parliamentary questions about the issue."[2]
The Sunday Times reported that Johnathan Prescott has also been embroiled in a row over claims that he used the deputy prime minister’s official apartment in Whitehall for a private business meeting to discuss a property scheme. Contractors involved in the scheme to overhaul a property in southwest London allegedly met Johnathan Prescott in Admiralty House.[3]
