Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont urges MP Eric Joyce to go
Published: 1st Mar 2012 10:25:23
Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont has called on Falkirk MP Eric Joyce to stand down.
It follows newspaper claims about a relationship Mr Joyce has had with a teenage girl.
Ms Lamont said she believed Mr Joyce had abused his power, making him unfit to stand for the Labour Party.
Mr Joyce has already been suspended from the Labour party after being charged with assault following an incident in a House of Commons bar.
The 51-year-old faces three counts of common assault after the late night disturbance last week.
The politician, from Bo'ness, near Falkirk, was bailed following the incident and will appear at West London Magistrates' Court on 7 March.
