Do your own research, as the link )[conveniently) doesn't provide a source article eg from the Daily Record from July 2018.

This would be because DWP is a Westminster department, running systems and services that are not devolved, and therefore while an MP has a direct interest as the local, elected representative at Westminster, and as one of the lawmakers that authorises the whole system, an MSP does not.
Which further explains the SNP’s agitating in this case - if it’s not about “disrespecting” devolution, it’s about highlighting things that can’t be done by Holyrood, because they’re reserved to Westminster.
