Cunningham on politics

Roseanna Cunningham MSP, deputy leader of the SNP will visit the University of Dundee on Friday to offer her view on the current political climate in Scotland.

An outspoken critic of Labour's leadership contest this week, Ms Cunningham will explain her understanding of the Scottish political settlement and the future for devolution and the SNP.

Roseanna Cunningham was elected MP for Perth after the death of Sir Nicholas Fairbairn in 1995. After devolution was delivered she was returned to the Scottish parliament and was appointed deputy leader of the SNP last year.

The New Scotland: New Politics series has attracted some of Scotland's most prominent politicians to the City over the past year to contribute to the continuing and important debate on shaping the devolution settlement. The series continues in the New Year with lectures from Tavish Scott MSP and Sir David Steel MSP.

Roseanna Cunningham will be speaking in the Tower conference suite at the University of Dundee on Friday 16 November at 1pm. The lecture is free and is open to the public./ENDS
