Ruth Davidson backs down on plan to take job with lobbying firm
Former Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has said she will Not Now be taking up a "contentious" job with a lobbying firm.
The MSP accepted a role with Tulchan Communications which would have Paid £50,000 for 25 days' work a year.
But other politicians said this would be a conflict of interest and called for Ms Davidson to quit as an MSP.
She insisted The Role would have been within Holyrood's rules, but said she had agreed to "step back" from The Job .
Ms Davidson, who and is expected to step down from Holyrood at the next election, was to serve as a "senior advisor" with the communications firm.
She Said she had sat down with parliamentary officials to "go through The Code of conduct in detail in order to avoid any conflict and ensure I would be working within The Rules at all times".
However all of Holyrood's other parties were critical of The Move and called for Ms Davidson to "decide which day job matters".
The SNP said she was "holding her constituents and the Scottish Parliament as a whole In Contempt ", while Labour said her Edinburgh constituents "deserve and MSP that will represent them, not private corporations".
Ms Davidson accepted that The Debate about The Job had "become increasingly contentious".
She Said that as a result, she and The Firm had "agreed not to proceed with The Appointment ".
"The consensus view from political opponents and commentators is that working to improve businesses' understanding of the cares and concerns of people is somehow incompatible with my role as an MSP," She Said .
"So if I Am asked to choose between Holyrood and this role, then I choose the parliament I have dedicated The Last nine years to, eight As Party leader, a decision Tulchan supports.
"I would like to thank Tulchan for asking me to take on The Role . "
