BBC Scotland unveils plans for Election 2024 leaders' debate

The BBC Scotland debate will be hosted by Stephen Jardine

BBC Scotland has announced its plans for an Election 2024 debate which will feature five party leaders.

The Debate Night special will be broadcast on BBC One Scotland at 20:00 on Tuesday 11 June, and will also be covered live on the BBC News website and app.

Hosted by Stephen Jardine, the hour-long programme will feature leaders from the SNP, Scottish Conservatives, Scottish Labour, Scottish Liberal Democrats and Scottish Greens.

It will give members of the public the chance to put their questions to the politicians.

The BBC is also staging a number of other debates across the UK in the coming weeks.

STV is hosting the first Scottish leaders debate of the election campaign - which will not include the Greens - on Monday night.
