On 16 November 2025, I and a guest attended the Scottish BAFTAs as guests of Channel 4 (a broadcasting company of 124 Horseferry Road, London, SW1P 2TX). The total cost of the tickets was £570.00.
From 31 March to 9 April 2025 I travelled to Dharamsala, India, in my capacity as Convener of the Scottish Parliament’s Cross Party Group on Tibet.
