A deal has been struck between the UK and Scottish governments which will stop criminals receiving compensation for slopping out.
"Emergency laws are to be rushed through Westminster and Holyrood to introduce a one-year time bar by the end of June".
"But lawyer Tony Kelly accused the Scottish Government of being sore losers, and said other human rights claims could be caught up in the change".
Why won't they rush through legislation to allow prisoners their human right to vote?
And, will there be a provision to try and limit damages pay outs for loss of the vote? Presently, it is likely to cost between £60 and £120M.
