| More than one in four Scottish MPs own second homes or rake in tens of thousands of pounds in rent as landlords, The Ferret has found. |
| Westminster’s newly published register of interests shows that 15 of Scotland’s 56 MPs said they own additional properties in towns and cities across the UK and abroad, with seven declaring that they receive rental income of more than £10,000 per year. |
| They include ten Scottish Labour MPs, three Scottish Liberal Democrats, and two representing the SNP. Eleven of them are new MPs elected in July.
