Paisley served with High Court summons

A Northern Ireland Assembly member was today ordered to disclose his sources in an investigation into the prison murder of loyalist leader Billy Wright or face contempt of court proceedings.

Ian Paisley junior could be imprisoned because he is refusing to hand over material about the shooting dead of Mid Ulster gunman Wright in December 1997, reports today's Irish Times.

He was served with a High Court summons at Stormont today requiring him to appear before Belfast High Court judge Mr Justice Gillen tomorrow morning.
