Two new Scottish MPs have been sworn in at the House of Commons, as a new MP for the Scottish National Party said her allegiance would be to the “sovereign people of Scotland” ahead of the King.
Lara Bird, who won in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry for the SNP, was first to take the oath of allegiance after her victory in last Thursday’s by-election. She had a majority of more than 5,000 votes over the Conservatives, who finished in second place.
