McAveety puts MSPs in conduct spotlight

The Scottish Parliament’s watchdog committee has been asked to write to MSPs about their conduct following the resignation of Frank McAveety over unguarded comments he made about an audience member.

The 47-year-old Glasgow Shettleston MSP was heard on microphone describing the woman as “very attractive”, with “that Filipino look” at a meeting of the public petitions committee.
