Edinburgh Council's Brexit committee did not meet for a year
TORIES have blasted the city's SNP-Labour administration after it emerged the council's Brexit working group has not met in the past year despite frequent comments from senior councillors on the impact quitting the EU will have on the Capital.
The seven-strong group with representatives from all parties has just been reappointed, but officials admitted it had failed to meet even once during 2017/18.
Tory group chairman Councillor Jason Rust said it was difficult to understand why the group, originally set up under the previous council administration, had been left dormant while council leader Adam McVey and colleagues regularly posted on social media about the problems Brexit would create.
