Wendy Alexander to be suspended

26/06/2008

Scottish Labour party leader Wendy Alexander should be suspended from the Scottish parliament for one day, a standards committee has recommended.

Parliament, however, is currently in summer recess and will have to wait until September to vote on the recommendation.

Ms Alexander has previously claimed she acted in good faith and in accordance with initial written parliamentary guidance.
