Len Brown report due today

Auckland Council chief executive Doug McKay is expected to release the long-awaited report into any use of council resources by Mayor Len Brown during his affair with Bevan Chuang at 2pm today.

The report is believed to clear Mr Brown of any wrongdoing, but contain other embarrassing findings.

There has been widespread speculation this week that the use of hotel rooms by Mr Brown outside the times he booked hotels for sex with Ms Chuang has been uncovered by Ernst & Young, who spent seven weeks probing the behaviour of Mr Brown.

Since receiving a draft copy of the report seven days ago, Mr Brown has received legal advice before providing feedback yesterday.

Mr McKay has received legal advice from Crown Solicitor Simon Moore, QC.
