Ross Greer is the only MSP from the west to Scotland to be part of a parliamentary committee covering the response to the Coronavirus.

The cross-party committee will be responsible for scrutinising the Scottish and UK government and other bodies’ response to the crisis.

It will consider further emergency legislation brought forward by both governments and will have the power to investigate and make recommendations on areas of their choosing.

Ross Greer, who is one of nine MSPs on the committee, commented: “In particular we’ll be carefully examining the actions of the UK Government and local councils on behalf of our constituents and taking ample evidence from independent experts. "

"I would encourage anyone who has a view or a concern about how we respond to this crisis to get in touch with me at ross.greer.msp@parliament.scot.”
