The following statement has been released by Falkirk CLP in response to an alleged incident involving Labour MP Eric Joyce last week:

“It is a matter of grave disappointment that Eric Joyce MP has been involved in an alleged incident. Falkirk CLP do not condone such alleged conduct and welcome the prompt suspension by the Labour Party of Mr Joyce. Falkirk expects and deserves the best representation and highest standards of behaviour from its elected representatives.
