Other people's phone records have also been monitored, we can reveal.
And other forms of secret surveillance may also have been carried out by the council as part of a number of internal investigations.
The questions Cover Up must now answer are:
- how many other phone records were monitored?
- do they belong to councillors, employees, ex-employees - or all three?
- who are they?
- have they been informed that their mobile phone records have been monitored?
- who authorised this?
- what other monitoring of individuals has the council carried out?
- what action is now being taken against those who carried out these illegal actions?
NB: The council has already confessed: “We omitted to notify the individuals concerned that it also included mobile phone records."
