Nicola Sturgeon will not visit the Scottish Parliament in person this week and will instead contribute to proceedings remotely.
The former first minister remains the MSP for Glasgow Southside after her shock resignation from the top job in Scottish politics in February.
Sturgeon is under mounting pressure after the home she shares with her husband and former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell was searched earlier this month by police as part of a long-running investigation into SNP finances.
