Welcome to LBC's live coverage of the SNP leadership hustings.

Iain Dale is hosted the debate between the three candidates on Monday night.

Candidates fielded questions on high profile resignations, including Peter Murrell, Ms Sturgeon's husband, over membership figures, and a potential investigation into police action over the SNP's finances.

Iain also challenged Kate Forbes over her stance on gay rights, with the former Scottish finance secretary claiming she would "defend [people's] rights to live and to love without fear".
