'Cash for access' probe urged

Holyrood's sleaze watchdog has been asked to investigate the First Minister and Deputy First Minister as the "cash for access" row continued.

Labour wants the Scottish Parliamentary Standards Commissioner Stuart Allan to look into the matter and establish if the MSP code of conduct was broken.

The move comes after lunches with Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon in the Scottish Parliament restaurant were sold at auction to raise cash for the SNP.
