- A Tory MSP has incurred a cost of £100,000 by submitting 987 parliamentary questions in January, which is more than half of all questions asked by 129 MSPs.
- Douglas Lumsden faced criticism from opposition parties for asking about flagpoles, light bulbs, and jars of honey, which were deemed 'spurious' questions.
