Deputy Candidate Faces Inquiry.

According to the BBC, a senior QC, Peter Scott, has been appointed to investigate whether Peter Hain misled the High Court over the interim victims commissioner appointment.

It doesn't say how long it will take for the inquiry to present its findings, but this surely cannot be conducive to any campaign Hain might be making for the deputy leadership of the party. But I think he should be given the chance to answer the claims being made against him. I just wonder what he'll have to say about it all.
