NICOLA Sturgeon will appear before a Westminster committee after her previous date was cancelled.
The former first minister will give evidence at the Scottish Affairs Committee on Monday, July 1, it has been announced.
She was due to give evidence to the Westminster-based Committee in April, but pulled out after her husband Peter Murrell was charged with embezzling funds from the SNP.
The committee said at the time there had been a change in witness availability.
Sturgeon will be the latest high-profile witness to give evidence to the committee for its inquiry into relations between Westminster and Holyrood.

The inquiry, which has been timed to mark 25 years of devolution, has received evidence from other prominent politicians including Tony Blair, David Cameron, Alex Salmond and Angus Robertson.
Last week, the committee heard the views of two former first ministers, Henry McLeish and Jack McConnell, as well as former lord advocate Elish Angiolini.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
