DISGRACED DEVINE TO FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES – LABOUR MUST MAKE CLEAR THEIR
POSITION
Commenting on the announcement from the Crown Prosecution Service that Jim
Devine will be among 4 MPs charged over their Westminster expenses claims
after he was charged under the Theft Act with submitting false invoices
for cleaning and stationary totalling £7845 SNP MSP for Livingston Angela
Constance said:
“Enough is enough for Jim Devine. The people of Livingston will welcome
the decision to test these charges in court.
"Instead of claiming he has been victimised it is time for Mr Devine to
face up to his charges and answer his critics in court.
“It is time this area had a real MP who champions their concerns, not one
charged with pocketing their taxes.
“Despite being in disgrace Devine remains a Labour MP and a member of the
Labour party.
“That is no longer good enough.
“Today is the day Labour must make clear if he is still an acceptable
member of the Labour party.”
