STV has announced details of a live TV debate with the leaders of the four main political parties in Scotland ahead of the General Election in June.
Scotland Debates will feature SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon MSP; Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson MSP; leader of the Scottish Labour Party Kezia Dugdale MSP; and Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie MSP.
The debate will be chaired by STV’s political editor, Bernard Ponsonby and will be broadcast live from the Tramway theatre in Glasgow on Wednesday 24 May from 8.30pm in front of an audience of 150.
Gordon Macmillan, STV’s head of news, said: “STV has a strong track record of delivering election debates for viewers in Scotland. This is an exciting time in Scottish and UK politics and we’ve rarely seen public political engagement so high.
“STV’s debate will give members of the audience an opportunity to put their questions to the leaders of the four main political parties and the leaders will also cross-examine each other. We hope viewers tune in for an engaging debate about the key political issues in Scotland today.”
The debate will be simulcast on STV2 and streamed live on the STV Player. It will also be available for catch-up shortly after.
