MPs are calling for a Westminster inquiry into SNP finances in the wake of Peter Murrell's embezzlement from the party.

Tory MP Harriet Cross and Labour MP Douglas McAllister – who are both members of the Scottish Affairs Committee – have said the Westminster body could hold the inquiry if the Scottish Parliament fails to do so, according to The Scotsman.
