About this Event

In the weeks before Parliament dissolves, ahead of the May 2026 Holyrood elections, politics will be high on everyone's agenda, and FMQs will continue to bring the most pressing questions of the week to the Scottish Parliament. Edinburgh MSPs Ben Macpherson and Angus Robertson have secured IoD members and their guests a small number of tickets to attend FMQs.

There will be a nearby breakfast meet-up (from 10:15) to discuss what is likely to feature in the FMQs that day and how it works. We will then move to the Scottish Parliament and sit together in the viewing gallery to watch the FMQs from 12:00 to 12:45 pm.

This is a members' event, but non-members who have attended fewer than two previous IoD events as non-members are also very welcome to book. We require full names and home addresses to secure tickets with Parliament, so please provide these at the point of booking.

We need to close the bookings for this event earlier than we usually would, as ticket numbers are restricted and require booker details, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
