John Lamont MSP - Chief Whip
Local campaigner and Borders man, John Lamont, won the Parliamentary constituency of Roxburgh & Berwickshire in May 2007 with a swing of 9.4% from the Liberal Democrats.
John has been actively involved in local campaigns in the Borders for a number of years. He is well known for his extensive travels throughout the constituency to support local people and the issues important to them.
Following the announcement of the Conservative Shadow Cabinet team, John was appointed as Shadow Minister for Community Safety, reflecting his experience and belief in strong local communities and a fight against crime and violent behaviour.
The son of a Berwickshire farmer and a local teacher, John knows the Borders like the back of his hand. He is undoubtedly, a well kent face around the constituency, and looks forward to representing local interests in the Scottish Parliament.
