Dr Lisa Cameron spoke out on the handling of sexual harassment allegations against fellow MP Patrick Grady.
Angus Robertson has defended the SNP’s Westminster selection process after a party MP claimed she was “ostracised” for criticising the handling of sexual harassment allegations.
It comes as Dr Lisa Cameron, MP for East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow, said she had to undergo “quite a lot of counselling” after she suggested the party hierarchy should be offering more support to an alleged victim. Mr Grady was suspended from the SNP for six months over sexual harassment allegations after being accused of inappropriately touching a party staff member in 2016.Dr Cameron has now said the reaction - which she claims saw colleagues refuse to speak to her - had led her to “not rule out” a by-election after a party worker challenged her for the seat at the next election.
He said he was “proud” the party was being transparent with its selection process, adding “other political parties manage these things behind closed doors in a way that we don’t in the SNP”.He said he was “proud” the party was being transparent with its selection process, adding “other political parties manage these things behind closed doors in a way that we don’t in the SNP”.
