Euthanasia remark Tory suspended

Hugh Jackson, councillor for Monkseaton North, is also being investigated by North Tyneside Council for the remark he made at a finance meeting.

Mr Jackson has apologised for the comment, which he made on March 19 as councillors discussed the provision of care for vulnerable children.
