MP appointed to Scottish affairs team
Among its other business, the committee is holding two inquiries into the Scottish Government’s plans for a referendum and issues such as pensions and currency, which it says need to be resolved first.
Mr Morrice was put on the committee along with new Inverclyde MP Iain McKenzie after East Lothian MP Fiona O’Donnell and former MSP Cathy Jamieson were both given jobs on Labour’s front bench by leader Ed Miliband.
