The Falkirk West MSP is facing a 27-sitting day suspension from Holyrood over the near £11,000 iPad data roaming bill he initially claimed had been for constituency work.
He U-turned before it later emerged his teenage sons had used the iPad as a hotspot to watch football during a family holiday to Morocco around Christmas 2022.
