The decision was made by people voting, by the group's membership. At the vote, 55% of the group's membership decided to continue to 'approve political expenditures, not to exceed £1 million per annum, that support the objectives of the co-operative movement' according to an official Co-Op Group statement. A series of other decisions were made, but opposition to directors pay was also discussed at the annual general meeting which took place at the Manchester Central conference in central Manchester. It is thought that 1000 members of the Co-Operative movement attended the event. (Photo by Jonathan Nicholson/NurPhoto)
