An SNP standards watchdog has not met since being formed last year - despite concerns about the party’s complaints system. The new “conduct” committee is still to have its first meeting even though the SNP has more than 100,000 members.
Sex pest MP Patrick Grady ’s victim, who withdrew a complaint to the SNP due to having no faith in the system, said: “This would be comical if it wasn’t so serious.”
He added: “The fact the SNP still claim to take sexual harassment seriously while the committee that is responsible for taking action and employing a zero-tolerance approach has not met is very dispiriting.”
