 I'm Graham Simpson, I'm an MSP for Central Scotland and I'm launching a consultation on a proposal for a member's bill and I'm here to tell you all about it. It's an absolute privilege to be a member of the Scottish Parliament and all members have to make sure they represent their constituents diligently and properly. The first element relates to attending work. I was a councillor for ten years and if I had not turned up to meetings for six months or more I could have been removed unless I had a reasonable excuse. So I want to replicate that as far as possible for MSPs. Currently, if an MSP is jailed for a period of over a year they're automatically removed as an MSP. Now I think if you are thrown into jail for any period then you shouldn't be able to serve as an MSP so I want to shorten that timeframe. The third element would be to introduce a system of recall into the Scottish Parliament. This is where constituents could trigger a process whereby an MSP would have to seek re-election and that would kick in if an MSP is sanctioned by the Parliament for serious misconduct. It's a system that exists around the world but not here in Scotland. I think it will be tricky in Scotland. It's a complex area of law because of course we have constituency MSPs and regional MSPs here. So I'm not clear how it could work. I think we might be able to come up with a solution and that's what this consultation is about. So the next steps are for people to respond to the consultation. I will then collate those responses and I will come back to the Parliament with some further thoughts of my own.
