MPs also questioned city council bosses over why police intelligence from a meeting with Dutch police, considered as crucial to the decision to ban Maccabi fans, was not included in minutes by the SAG.<\/p>\n
Council leader John Cotton was joined at the hearing by Richard Brooks, executive director of city operations, and Anthony Cox, director of law and governance.<\/p>\n
Cotton added he had concerns over “some of the information” that was placed in front of the SAG.<\/p>\n
He refused to say whether he had confidence in Guildford and said he had “serious questions” he would like to see addressed following the inquiry.<\/p>\n
“That [safety advisory] group can only work on the basis of candor and confidence of the material that’s placed before it,” he said.<\/p>\n
The committee criticised the minutes as giving a “biased picture” of the meeting and said it showed pressure coming from two councillors who pressed away fans should not attend the game.<\/p>\n
Brooks said the minutes may be an “incomplete picture” and “not a perfect record” of the meeting but he did not agree that it was a “biased picture”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MPs also questioned city council bosses over why police intelligence from a meeting with Dutch police, considered as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-356319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=356319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=356319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=356319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=356319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
