Humza Yousaf calls for Alister Jack to resign over House of Lords nomination
Humza Yousaf has called on Alister Jack to resign as an MP if he is handed a peerage by Boris Johnson.
The SNP leadership hopeful claimed the Scottish Secretary had "failed to stand up in the best interests of the local community" and a by-election should be called.
Jaxk is among 20 prominent Tories set to handed places in the House of Lords by the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who quit Downing Street last year.
Johnson is allowed to put names forward for awards as part of his resignation honours list.
Jack was appointed Secretary of State for Scotland by Johnson in 2019 and was a dogged supporter of him throughout the Partygate scandal that eventually forced his resignation.
He kept his Cabinet job during the short Liz Truss administration and was reappointed by Rishi Sunak when he became PM.
