After his appointment last week as leader of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party, Douglas Ross MP has announced the MSPs who will make up the new Scottish Conservative Shadow Cabinet.
As Mr Ross is an MP, and may only become an MSP if he is elected next May, he has confirmed that Ruth Davidson MSP for Edinburgh Central will act in his place at First Minister’s Questions. Ms Davidson is then stepping down from Holyrood to take up her position in the House of Lords which Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced recently.
There have been some changes, and Mr Ross has not appointed the former leader, Jackson Carlaw to the Shadow Cabinet.
Ruth Davidson – Leader of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist MSP Group
Jamie Greene MSP – Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills
Liam Kerr MSP – Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Justice
Donald Cameron MSP – Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport
Murdo Fraser MSP – Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Finance
Liz Smith MSP – Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform
Oliver Mundell MSP – Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Rural Economy and Tourism
