Housing protestors evicted from Scottish Parliament

A GROUP of protesters were today removed from the chamber of the Scottish Parliament over a housing demo.

The group draped a makeshift banner over the side of the public gallery demanding a financial investigation into the Glasgow Housing Association (GHA).

Two security guards wrestled the sheet from them, before police escorted the group of seven out of the chamber.

It came as MSPs were considering the Commonwealth Games Bill.

The business of Parliament was not interrupted by the incident.
