Two Scottish Labour constituency parties say they have been 'inundated' with 'lack of transparency' complaints.
Two Labour constituency parties have made a formal complaint about the selection process for two key Scottish seats.
"They understand the need to select strong candidates to join them in that fight without delay, but for candidates to have any credibility, it is vital that members have full confidence in the selection process used," it says. In the letter, the CLPs have called for a new selection panel and asked for a pause to the current selection and a "full investigation" into the process so far.
