Image copyright PA Media An SNP MP has apologised for travelling to London despite experiencing Covid symptoms - and travelling home after getting a positive result.
Margaret Ferrier, the MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West, said there was “no excuse for my actions”.
She said she took a test on Saturday - but travelled to Westminster on Monday because she was feeling “much better”.
Ms Ferrier received a positive test result that same day, then took a train back to Scotland.
She said in a statement that she deeply regretted her actions and had notified the police.
The SNP is not removing the whip from Ms Ferrier, and is waiting for the police to investigate.
It is understood the leadership spoke to her earlier today and it was made clear she had “let herself down”.
