London - Mayor Ken Livingstone will face a disciplinary hearing for comparing a Jewish journalist to a Nazi concentration camp guard, said England's local government watchdog on Tuesday.

The standards board for England said an investigation into charges that Livingstone "failed to treat others with respect and brought his authority into disrepute" had concluded that a disciplinary hearing should take up the matter.

If found guilty of breaching the Greater London authority's code of conduct, the mayor could be banned from office for five years, told to make an apology, suspended, made to undergo training or be censured.
