The Scottish Elections (Representation and Reform) Bill was passed on 17 December 2024. It places a duty on Scottish Ministers to bring forward regulations which prohibit MSPs from holding dual mandates as MPs or Peers, and potentially Councillors. This consultation seeks views on ending dual mandates.
