Inquiry into Megrahi release announced

MPs will investigate the release of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing as part of a wider probe into relations between Westminster and Holyrood, it has been announced.

The inquiry by the Commons Scottish Affairs select committee will also study how a prisoner transfer agreement was negotiated between Libya and the UK.

The committee, chaired by Mohammad Sarwar, Labour MP for Glasgow Central, announced the move.
