Tory MSP breaks rules after failing to fully declare Israel trip

TORY MSP Jackson Carlaw has breached the MSP Code of Conduct after failing to accurately declare a paid trip to Israel funded by the Israeli Embassy in the UK.

The former acting Scottish Tory leader did not declare the £2200 cost of the trip at the start of a committee meeting on a petition which considered providing learning resources in Israel and Palestine.

The Standards Committee described the breach as a "serious matter" but stated it will take no further action.
