Ex-Scotland captain Stuart Hogg could be stripped of MBE after domestic abuse conviction Ex-Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg could be stripped of his MBE after narrowly avoiding jail for domestic abuse.
Hogg pleaded guilty to a single charge of domestic abuse against his estranged wife, between 2019 and 2024, at locations including Hawick, the Scottish Borders, and Bearsden, near Glasgow.
"I've raised this matter in the Commons and directly with the honours authorities and, whilst I appreciate they have processes to undertake, it's clear to everyone that the forfeiture committee must live up to their name and remove Stuart Hogg's honour.
The court had heard that Hogg would return home from heavy drinking sessions and would behave abusively towards Gillian, which included shouting and swearing, while she remained upstairs with their children.
The SNP's Westminster leader Stephen Flynn said: "It was important that this issue was raised at the highest level possible, and I'm glad that the Honours Secretariat is firmly on the case and I look forward to a timely decision being taken.
