Jim Wallace to publish memoirs

Jim Wallace's call for the Holyrood First Minister and his or her deputy to have a seat in a reformed House of Lords has gained some publicity. That call was made at a lecture at Glasgow University this evening.

On Sunday the Herald reported that he is to go further next year and publish his memoirs. The paper said:

He has hinted there could be revelations that will cause embarrassment to some. The book will give his account of the frosty relations he had with Paddy Ashdown, who sought to do a Labour-LibDem deal with Tony Blair and to direct the Scottish coalition arrangements from London.
