MSPs Support Recall System for Holyrood
The Scottish Parliament's Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee has backed the general principles of a recall system, but noted "fundamental issues" with the current proposal.
A member's bill, introduced by Reform MSP Graham Simpson, aims to establish a process for removing MSPs via a successful recall petition. Currently, no such process exists.
- The committee identified issues with practical arrangements.
- Complexity and cost associated with recalling regional MSPs were also noted.
There is currently no process in place to remove MSPs.
