Representing Clydebank, Dumbarton and Alexandria
A Real Voice for West Dunbartonshire
“As a lifelong and proud resident of West Dunbartonshire, it is the honour of my life to represent the area where my family and I live at Westminster.”
I was elected by my constituents as the Labour Member of Parliament for West Dunbartonshire in July of 2024. I have lived here all my life and continue to stay in West Dunbartonshire with my wife and two children.
About Me
Previously, I represented the areas of Duntocher, Hardgate & Faifley as a Labour Councillor for 23 years. During this time, I also proudly served as Provost of West Dunbartonshire for 7 years. Prior to being elected as an MP, I worked at an award-winning law firm in Glasgow. For over 25 years, I represented clients in courts throughout Scotland.
I pledge to work with our local community and residents and use my legal expertise and local government knowledge to stand up for our communities’ interests. I have always strived to improve the lives of families by focusing on the issues that matter to us such as employment opportunities, education, healthcare, housing, and the economy.
Surgeries
As the MP for West Dunbartonshire, I believe that it is extremely important to be accessible to all of my constituents. That is why every week, I hold multiple in-person surgeries across the constituency, so people can speak with me face to face.

“I will also be holding regular street surgeries right across West Dunbartonshire. My aim is to chap doors in every street in West Dunbartonshire, and speak to all my constituents to hear your concerns directly.”
