Independent MP Margaret Ferrier has lost her appeal against a proposed 30-day suspension from the House of Commons.

Ferrier, who was elected as a Scottish National Party (SNP) MP in December 2019, was suspended from her party after admitting she had travelled on a train between London and Scotland in September 2020—despite having tested positive for COVID-19.
