Covid-positive SNP MP Margaret Ferrier suspended over Parliament visit

 

An SNP MP has been suspended by her party after travelling to Westminster despite experiencing Covid symptoms - then going home by train after getting a positive test result.

 

Margaret Ferrier said there was "no excuse for my actions".

 

She said she took a test on Saturday - but travelled to London on Monday because she was feeling "much better".

 

Ms Ferrier received a positive test result that same day, then took a train back to Scotland on Tuesday.

 

The MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West said she had informed the police and that she deeply regretted her actions.

 

The SNP's Westminster leader Ian Blackford said on Thursday that he had spoken to Ms Ferrier, who accepted that what she had done was wrong.

 

He said: "Margaret will be referring herself to the parliamentary standards commissioner as well as the police. I am tonight suspending the whip from Margaret."

The son of bank worker Alistair Wilson, who was shot dead on the doorstep of his home in 2004, has appealed for help in catching his father's killer.

 

Andrew Wilson was aged just four at the time of the murder in Nairn in the Highlands.

 

He said the only memory he has left of his father is seeing him lying on the ground moments after being shot.

 

It is the first time Mr Wilson has spoken publicly about the murder and how it has devastated his family.

 

He said: "I still cannot believe how someone could shoot my dad dead on our doorstep while my brother and I were upstairs.

 

He was then shot with a German-made handgun.
