A new round of settlements in Glasgow's long-running equal pay dispute have moved a step closer after councillors approved a strategy to fund compensation offers.

It comes four years after a deal was reached on a package of equal pay compensation worth around £500m, which was financed through a sale-and-lease-back arrangement, under which wholly-owned arm's-length firm City Property Glasgow Investments borrowed to purchase a portfolio of operational buildings from the council before leasing them back.
