Scottish Liberal Democrats respond to Ferrier suspension
6 Jun 2023
Responding to MPs voting to ban Margaret Ferrier from the House of Commons for 30 days for her breach of Covid regulations, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:
“I welcome today’s news because it’s important that we all take responsibility for the decisions we make, especially where public safety is involved.
“Scottish Liberal Democrats are unequivocally in favour of a recall petition and a by-election. Not only is this a chance to give Rutherglen and Hamilton West the representation it deserves, it is also a chance to send a message to the new SNP First Minister that people are sick of the divisive and out of touch politics he and his party represent.”
