Dumfries and Galloway MP Alister Jack may be in line for a peerage.
Newspaper reports suggest he could be on his way to the House of Lords as part of Boris Johnson’s resignation honours list.
Rival politicians believe that, if the peerage is confirmed, Mr Jack should resign as MP to take up the post and trigger a by-election, rather than hold his seat until the next election – which has to be held by January 2025.
