Remuneration and related undertaking

Until 14 May 2026, I was the Member of Parliament for Arbroath and Broughty Ferry (House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA). I worked full time in this role prior to my election, attending the House of Commons weekly when it was in session. I received remuneration of between £95,001 and £100,000 per annum. Following my election as an MSP, I spent 2 days on this role and received no additional income from holding a dual mandate as the salary was deducted from my MSP salary. All of my expenses in my UK Parliament role are publicly available on the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority website at www.theipsa.org.uk.

Until 21 May 2026, I was a Professor of International Relations at the University of St Andrews (of North Street, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9AJ). I spent half a day per week on this role. My salary was between £5,001 and £10,000 per annum. I received a final salary payment of £390.93 on 28 May 2026.
