20th September 2022 | government-administration

A new MSP was today sworn in at Holyrood, becoming the first member to swear allegiance to King Charles.

Roz McCall is a Tory MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife, following the resignation of Dean Lockhart.

She took the oath to "be faithful and bear true allegiance" to the new King as business resumed after the period of national mourning.

Ms McCall said she was "delighted and honoured" to be joining the Tory group at Holyrood.

Her first speech in the chamber was part of a special debate for members to share their reflections about the death of the Queen.
