Worker sues Parly after litter slip

A HOLYROOD employee is suing Parliament after slipping on a piece of litter.

The staff member hurt their left hip in the service yard to the rear of the building last November.

An accident log book, which does not name the worker, said it happened because of a “small piece of wind-blown street litter”.

But Tory MSP Miles Briggs said it’s evidence of a compensation culture. He added: “It’s difficult to see what the Parliament could really do about stray litter.”
