David Mundell served as an MSP between 1999 – when the first Scottish Parliament was elected – and 2005.
Former Scottish secretary David Mundell insisted that Holyrood “still has the capacity to be a force for good right across Scotland”.
The Tory served as an MSP between 1999 – when the first Scottish Parliament was elected – and 2005, when he left Holyrood after being voted in as the MP for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale. Tory David Mundell was an MSP from 1999 to 2005, when he switched to Westminster, later becoming Scottish secretaryBut he recalled the “greater sense of camaraderie, particularly across the parties in those days”, saying MSPs from opposing parties would often enjoy drinks or meals out together “because everyone was in the same boat, all new together”.
But the Tory claimed the committees in the Scottish Parliament had now “become more political”, adding that Holyrood had “resisted the opportunity” to introduce elected committee chairs, as they have at Westminster. Mr Mundell said: “At the point I left, people thought the committees here were much more effective. Now I think the committees at Westminster are more effective.”
The Tory said: “My perception is there is much more negativity towards the Parliament than there was even a few years ago.“When we started off I think there was a great hope it would be a Parliament for the whole of Scotland, I think many people feel that it is not a Parliament that is focused on the needs of rural Scotland, for example.”
