flag MSP Ash Regan suspended two days for breaking conduct rules by sharing a complaint letter publicly.

flag MSP Ash Regan faces a two-day suspension from the Scottish Parliament after the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee found she breached the MSP code of conduct by publicly sharing a letter to the Presiding Officer about Green MSP Maggie Chapman’s comments on the UK Supreme Court’s ruling on the Equality Act. flag The committee ruled her post, which included language indicating intent to formally raise concerns, violated rules against disclosing complaint intentions to the media before a formal process begins. flag Regan argued she was seeking advice and raising a concern, not filing a complaint, but the committee concluded her actions demonstrated a clear intent to complain. flag The recommendation, which will be reviewed by MSPs, highlights strict rules on confidentiality in parliamentary conduct.
