The museum and the city chambers are among the assets to be re-mortgaged to cover pay claims.

Previously a property portfolio - including the SEC Armadillo, City Halls and the Museum Resource Centre - was transferred to the council arm's-length company City Property. These were "re-mortgaged" to release funds to settle pay claims.

The council hopes to raise about £200m, bringing the total funding available to settle equal pay liabilities to about £270m. Councillors have already approved a strategy to fund compensation offers to claimants represented by Action4Equality, Unison, GMB and Unite.
