Scottish lawmakers are set to vote on banning dual mandates, affecting MSPs holding multiple roles.

MSPs in Scotland are set to vote on banning dual mandates, which would prevent members from serving both as MPs or peers in the House of Lords and as MSPs. This follows criticism of SNP leader Stephen Flynn for planning to hold both positions. If passed, the ban could take effect before the 2026 Holyrood elections, with a potential additional ban on councillors serving as MSPs following public consultation.
