Political career

In the first Scottish general election in 1999, Robson ran for the direct mandate of the constituency of Roxburgh and Berwickshire . He received the largest share of the vote and thus moved into the newly created Scottish Parliament . After the resignation of his party colleague Tavish Scott , Robson was appointed Deputy Secretary of State for Parliamentary Affairs in March 2003, a position he held until the end of the legislature. In the parliamentary elections in 2003 , he was able to slightly increase his share of the vote and thus defended his mandate. In the newly formed cabinet, he took the position of Deputy State Secretary for Education and Young People. The conservative John Lamont was finally able to prevail in the general election in 2007 against Robson, whereby this lost his mandate and resigned from parliament. As part of the 2011 constituency reform, the constituency of Roxburgh and Berwickshire was dissolved and largely replaced by the newly created constituency of Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire . Robson ran for this in the 2011 general election , but received only the third largest share of the vote.
