SUMMARY: Call for independent inquiry over Holyrood harassmentpublished at 16:31 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2017
An independent review of the "culture" of the Scottish Parliament must be held if concerns about sexual harassment are to be resolved, a Labour MSP has said.
Monica Lennon said reports about harassment at Holyrood were "sickening but unfortunately not surprising".
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has asked her top civil servant to review how government approaches the issue.

Her deputy John Swinney told MSPs that "the conduct and behaviour of men" had to change across society.
Party leaders met Holyrood's Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh to discuss how to tackle the problem.
Claims have been made about a "catalogue of abuse" at the Scottish parliament, in the wake of concerns about the behaviour of MPs at Westminster.
The SNP is currently investigating complaints of inappropriate behaviour by two parliamentarians.
