A referendum row has blown up in Angus after a sub-group was set up to “guide” pupils ahead of the independence vote.
It was charged with the task of ensuring “political neutrality” in schools but the only two councillors on the working group were from the SNP.
Among the group’s tasks was to decide exactly what campaign materials from both Yes and Better Together should be made available to voting age pupils.
News of the working group’s formation which happened “several” months ago was only disclosed to other councillors recently.
Lib Dem councillor David May said he had “no doubt” that the councillors “will have conducted their roles impartially”, but he added: “It should have included one councillor from each side of the referendum debate.”
