Birmingham City Council faced questions over its minuting of the SAG meetings and the lack of police information involved in them.

Richard Brooks, city operations director, refuted claims that the minutes may show bias instead saying they may be incomplete.

“It was our best attempt to capture what was in the meeting,” he said.

And leaderJohn Cotton who is not a member of the safety advisory group, said he had concerns over “some of the information” that was placed in front of it.

“But I am concerned given what I’ve heard here this afternoon,” he said.

“That (safety advisory) group can only work on the basis of candor and confidence of the material that’s placed before it,” he said.

“I have serious questions that I would like to see addressed as a result of this inquiry.”
