flag Glasgow official resigns after text messages about budget may have broken conduct rules.

flag Douglas Hutchison, Glasgow City Council’s executive director of education, has resigned immediately after acknowledging text messages he sent in spring 2024 to a councillor about the 2024/25 budget may have breached political conduct rules. flag The messages, which involved advice on a budget plan addressing a £100 million shortfall, potentially compromised the formal budget process. flag After realizing the messages could become public, Hutchison reported the issue to the council’s chief executive and offered his resignation, which was accepted. flag He will receive payment for notice and accrued leave but no severance. flag The council confirmed no further comment will be made.
