Councillors voted for an investigation after it emerged council staff monitored parents on social media.
told councillors they felt "humiliated"In July, council chiefs withdrew support for BPCF receiving government funding, but insisted the decision had nothing to do with the social media monitoring.
"It doesn't matter to me whether this was systematic or random, it was wrong - yet we employ people who actually think it was right.Asher Craig, cabinet member for education, said: "I take issue with how this motion talks about the council's legal team - implying their investigation wasn't genuine. "Any suggestion that this council was carrying out covert surveillance on parents is just ridiculous. But if councillors want to spend taxpayers' money on an external investigation, then that's fine."
