A move to put 'more focus' on spending on women in Edinburgh Council has been rejected after members struggled to understand what it was about.
Supported by SNP councillors, the Greens sought to explore the introduction of 'gender budgeting', which involves looking at how women and girls are impacted by decision making and budget setting in the council.
Greens councillor Alys Mumford moved the motion - her first since being elected last month - at the finance committee on Thursday (June 17).
