POLITICIANS have called for the head of Holyrood's Justice Committee to stand down until allegations that she made sectarian comments have been fully investigated.
It emerged yesterday Christine Grahame, SNP MSP and convenor of the committee, has been accused by a former employee of making sectarian remarks about colleagues, including members of her own party.
The Justice Committee is currently overseeing the anti-sectarian legislation, the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communication Bill, that is going through Parliament.
