is this bad grammar?

[branflake81]

I am writing up minutes at work and have written the sentence:

"XX advised against (......) as was suggested at last week's meeting"

as was suggested??

Is this right? It sounds very clumsy.

I'd say "which was"

or "as suggested"

Don't think you need the "was"

sounds ok to me.

Perhaps "as had been suggested" may be slightly better, but I don't think what you have put is wrong.

It's just ambiguous - you can't tell whether what "was suggested" last week was (a) a proposal or (b) XX's lack of support for a proposal made the previous week.

I'd just spell it all out a bit more.

.. a proposal that was suggested at last week's meeting?

agree it's ambiguous - do you mean

1. Bob advised against the security measures suggested at last week's meeting.

1. As at last week's meeting, Bob advised against the security measures.
