SNP ruling body orders governance and transparency review

The SNP's ruling body has ordered a review of transparency and the way the party is managed after recent controversy over its finances.

The National Executive Committee (NEC) met on Saturday amid a police probe and a row over the release of membership numbers.

Party leader Humza Yousaf said a new working group would publish an interim report in June.

It will be followed by a full report ahead of the SNP's autumn conference.
