Scottish Election 2021: When is the next TV leaders' debate?

The Scottish Parliament election campaign is well underway with party leaders and candidates pounding the streets to attempt to secure your vote.

One of the highlights of the elections in recent years has been the introduction of TV debates.

The five main political party leaders faced off against one another on March 30 in what was the first debate of the Holyrood election.

Next week, Nicola Sturgeon from the SNP, Douglas Ross of the Scottish Tories, Anas Sarwar from Labour, Willie Rennie of the Lib Dems and Patrick Harvie from the Greens will debate one another.

Recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, Scottish independence and climate change are just some of the big topics that are likely to pop up throughout.
