Strikes at further education colleges in Scotland have come to an end as the EIS Union and employers have reached agreement.

Lecturers had been planning to hold more strikes but in a statement, the union and Colleges Scotland say all industrial action has been suspended.

The row was over staff claims that college managers were failing to honour a pay deal agreed a year ago.
