The Stevenson Trust welcomes Allan Campbell, Head of Operations at the Scottish Parliament.
In the run-up to the May 2026 Scottish Parliament election, a record number of MSPs have announced they will be standing down from the Parliament. This unprecedented turnover will result in significant change in the Parliament’s membership, with many new faces in Holyrood. Join the Stevenson Trust as Allan Campbell, Head of Operations at the Scottish Parliament, lifts the curtain to reveal how the Parliament powers down and resets during dissolution, before the induction of new Members and bringing a new Parliament to life.
