The Council refers to the however many councillors there are in the room. We had this discussion before and I know you think it’s pedantic (and it is) but it implies that the councillors have admitted talks with Wasps which several have been explicit in denying. Ridley knows this and was hoping for the reaction he got. Labour were stupid to give him that reaction no doubt and should have just let the debate happen but seem to be worried about it being reported as “councillors admit they had talks because they accepted the debate”. As I say the whole thing is fucked and neither side is playing with a straight bat here.
Yes, it is saying "Did the council have talks" which includes all of the councillors and mayor rather than listing individuals.
They can enter the debate and say "we confirm again that nobody at all had any talks with anybody"
