More than two dozen MSPs have their own relatives on their Holyrood payroll, figures revealed.
A total of 25 MSPs - 11 SNP, 11 Labour, two Tories, and one Liberal Democrat - employ family members, according to a new register. The register is a requirement of a new scheme for MSPs' allowances.
No salary details were given, on confidentiality grounds. MSPs can claim up to £56,650 for employing staff.
