A VETERAN SNP MP has urged a Westminster committee not to open an inquiry into the Peter Murrell embezzlement scandal.

In a post on Twitter/X, Pete Wishart said that, as a former chair of the Scottish Affairs Committee (SAC), he had written to current chair Patricia Gibson warning that such a move would exceed its remit and could risk shredding its credibility.
