LISA Cameron has voted with the Government for the first time since she defected from the SNP to the Conservatives.
The East Kilbride MP joined her new Tory colleagues in the Aye lobby on Tuesday afternoon to vote for a Government amendment to changes made to the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill.
The Government has successfully changed the bill to ensure it does not amend or repeal parts of the Building Safety Act.
Cameron sparked fury among her opponents and constituents when she defected to the Tories last week.
She accused the SNP group in Westminster of bullying and said in a interview announcing her defection that independence was divisive and not a priority for Scotland.
But political blog Wings Over Scotland reported her as telling the site she remained in favour of independence.
She has faced calls to resign her East Kilbride seat to trigger a by-election after giving the town its only Conservative MP since the constituency was established in 1974.
In an interview with The Times last week, Cameron said she had been forced into hiding after receiving threats of violence.
It was reported in The Telegraph her defection was stage-managed by Alister Jack and Rishi Sunak and that Douglas Ross had been kept out of the loop.
First Minister Humza Yousaf has called on her to “do the honourable thing” and step down.
Cameron is understood to have likely faced deselection ahead of the upcoming election, with her seat challenged by party activist Grant Costello, who had received the backing of senior local figures in South Lanarkshire.
The East Kilbride MP has also said she resorted to taking antidepressants because she was so unhappy with the SNP Westminster group and alleged she was bullied because she supported the staffer who accused Patrick Grady of touching him inappropriately.
