MP Margaret Ferrier to appeal House of Commons ban
MP Margaret Ferrier will appeal against a proposed 30-day ban from the House of Commons over breaching Covid rules.The Rutherglen and Hamilton West MP then took a train home to Glasgow after being told she had tested positive.
If an MP is suspended from the Commons for more than 10 days, then a recall petition can be launched seeking a by-election.Ferrier won an SNP majority of 5,230 at the last general election, with Labour finishing second.Parliamentary commissioner for standards, Daniel Greenberg, began the investigation into Ms Ferrier's conduct last October.While awaiting her results, she went to church on the Sunday and later spent more than two hours in a bar in Prestwick, Ayrshire.
The commissioner concluded that she put her own personal interest ahead of the public interest by not immediately self-isolating in London, and had caused "possible risk of harm to health and life for people she came into contact with".
