Thomas Docherty's office have just rung me to say they he did NOT sign the three EDMs which mysteriously carried the name of Sinn Fein MP Pat Doherty on them.
Indeed, I'm told that Scottish Labour MP Mr Docherty even went to the Commons table office to check whose signature was on the EDMs.
He was told that the paperwork is destroyed after three months.
A pity. It's all very strange.

My MP's name was on an EDM but he termed such an act 'vainglorious'.
