Paisley Jnr lodges complaint against SDLP's Dallat

The DUP's Ian Paisley Jnr has lodged an official complaint against the SDLP's John Dallat over the investigation that led to his resignation earlier this year.

Mr Paisley resigned as a junior minister in January after Mr Dallat reported him and his father to the ethics watchdogs at Stormont and Westminster.

The Stormont Deputy Speaker had complained about the DUP man's links to a property developer and his appointment as his father's Westminster researcher.

He was later cleared of wrongdoing by the House of Commons' Commissioner for Standards and the Northern Ireland Ombudsman.

Mr Paisley Jnr is now calling for Mr Dallat to be removed as Deputy Speaker due to a "lack of impartiality".
