Committee Discusses Robinson Finances
The Assembly Committee on Standards and Privileges is to meet in closed session on Wednesday to discuss a report into Peter and Iris Robinson's financial dealings.
The closed session follows a BBC documentary four years ago that looked at Iris Robinson's financial and personal relationship with Kirk McCambley, a 19-year-old businessman.
Commissioner Douglas Bain is expected to say Iris Robinson breached the Assembly's code of conduct by not declaring all her income, but that First Minister Peter Robinson did not break any rules.
The report is then expected to be published tomorrow.
