SSP's McCombes due back in court

BBC NEWS The Scottish Socialist Party official who was jailed for failing to hand over documents is due back in court.

Alan McCombes, co-founder of the party, is due to attend the Court of Session on Tuesday, where Lady Smith will rule whether he was in contempt of court.

He was jailed last month for refusing to hand over an SSP document but released after three days when party officials presented it to the court.
