The deputy leader of Westminster city council received more than 500 gifts and hospitality invitations in three years, it has been reported.
Robert Davis, a Tory councillor, was until last year the chairman of the planning committee and since the start of 2015 received gifts from property industry figures at least 150 times.
Any gifts and hospitality packages worth more than £25 must be declared and some of the items and invitations Mr Davis accepted exceed this figure by some way.
He was flown to the south of France for four-day stays on two occasions, was taken to exclusive restaurants including the Ritz and the Ivy and also gifted a ticket to the musical Hamilton, The Guardian reported.
Mr Davis is the longest serving member of the council having been elected in 1982.
The Cambridge graduate was voted Conservative councillor of the year in 2014 and in was given an MBE in 2015 for his services to local and government planning.
Labour said Mr Davis’s register of interests demonstrated the “broken culture at Westminster council”.
They also added that there was a “clear perception that senior Conservative councillors have a very close relationships with developers”.
The Independent has contacted Robert Davis and Westminster Conservatives for a comment.
