Scottish Parliament Fact Sheet Msps with Dual Mandates 4 October 2016 Msps: Current Series The Scottish Parliament and Scottish Parliament I nfor mation C entre l ogo Scottish Parliament Fact sheet MSPs with Dual Mandates 4 October 2016 MSPs: Current Series This fact sheet lists all Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) who currently hold a dual mandate. It also lists the MSPs that held dual mandates in previous sessions. Dual mandate is the term used to describe those MSPs who, in addition to their seat in the Scottish Parliament, also hold a seat in either the House of Commons (MPs), House of Lords (Peers) or represent a ward in their local council (councillors). This fact sheet lists the name of the MSP, their party and the constituency or region that they represent in the Scottish Parliament. It also lists the area that they represent in the House of Commons or in local government or their title (if they are a peer). Finally, this document also provides information on the start and end dates of dual mandates. It should be noted that no MSP has held a dual mandate through also holding a seat in the European Parliament.

    Scotland’s Jewish Gathering They came from the north and the south, they came from the east and the west! More than 150 Jewish people from all over Scotland – from the Western Isles and the Grampians to Galloway, from all strands of Judaism and none, aged from 3 to 83 – converged on Edinburgh Synagogue DIAMOND ISSUE DIAMOND and Community Centre over the weekend of 26th to 28th October for a programme of inspiring speakers, rousing music, stimulating discussion – and just getting to know one another better. Guest speakers included Board of Deputies vice-president Edwin Shuker, who had fled from Baghdad just before his bar mitzvah and spoke emotionally about his gratitude that he lives in a country where the Jewish community can thrive. Scottish Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf, speaking after news of the atrocity in Pittsburgh had broken, expressed sympathy and solidarity with the victims and with Jewish people throughout the world, and reiterated the Scottish Government’s commitment “to tackle prejudice and build the society we want to be, where each person, every family, and all communities can flourish.” The programme included a special open meeting of SCoJeC’s Council, and there were also discussions on tackling demographic change, women in Judaism, mental health, Jewish schools, fundraising, and the use of technology and social media. There was a stirring candle-lit musical Havdalah, a sing-along klezmer session, and separate activities for the 20 children aged 3 to 16. The final session was an unprecedented panel of the chairs of all Scotland’s Jewish communities, whose discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing them quickly turned into agreement that what they have in common hugely outweighs their differences of geography and affiliation.

  • Invitation to Join the Government of Britain
    INVITATION TO JOIN THE GOVERNMENT OF BRITAIN THE CONSERVATIVE MANIFESTO FOR ScOTLAND 2010 INVITATION TO JOIN THE GOVERNMENT OF BRITAIN A country is at its best when the bonds between people are strong and when the sense of national purpose is clear. Today the challenges facing Britain are immense. Our economy is overwhelmed by debt, our social fabric is frayed and our political system has betrayed the people. But these problems can be overcome if we pull together and work together. If we remember that we are all in this together. Some politicians say: ‘give us your vote and we will sort out all your problems’. We say: real change comes not from government alone. Real change comes when the people are inspired and mobilised, when millions of us are fired up to play a part in the nation’s future. Yes this is ambitious. Yes it is optimistic. But in the end all the Acts of Parliament, all the new measures, all the new policy initiatives, are just politicians’ words without you and your involvement. How will we deal with the debt crisis unless we understand that we are all in this together? How will we raise responsible children unless every adult plays their part? How will we revitalise communities unless people stop asking ‘who will fix this?’ and start asking ‘what can I do?’ Britain will change for the better when we all elect to take part, to take responsibility – if we all come together. Collective strength will overpower our problems. Only together can we can get rid of this government and, eventually, its debt.
