I question if this person is the primary meaning, and anyway with this number of people in the hatnote we need a disambiguation page. PatGallacher (talk) 01:42, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The text about Banff and Buchan that read "future SNP leader Alex Salmond would represent this constituency from 1987, and it has since become a somewhat safe SNP seat with four-figure majorities over the Conservative and Unionist Party" is now out of date since Alex Salmond left the seat in 2010 and since 2017 has been a Conservative seat (indeed it was the only Scottish seat the Conservatives increased their majority in in 2019). I realise the recent history of the seat is not really relevant to Douglas Henderson, but I have amended the text to make it clearer (and also to add a bit about his defeat in 1983).Dunarc (talk) 20:43, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
