Gavin Newlands, SNP MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire North, said:
“I am delighted to have been reappointed as the SNP Westminster’s Spokesperson for Sport.
“Those that know me will be aware that sport has always played a big part in my life. I am passionate about the benefits that sport can have on an individual’s life, helping to not only improve a person’s physical health but their mental health as well.
“In the last Parliament, I championed the interests of Scottish sport at Westminster, including playing a leading role in Scottish tennis being awarded additional funding to help support the growth of the game in Scotland.
“I am looking forward to the opportunities and challenges that this Parliament will bring about and will continue to work hard to ensure that the interests of Scottish sport are heard in Westminster.”
