After "some growing unease about the amount of time he is devoting to the cause of saving a football club that is not based in his constituency," Federation of Hearts Chair and Edinburgh South MP Ian Murray "presented his case for the defence." Murray "estimated the amount of time he spends on business which relates" to Scottish Premiership Heart of Midlothian "as only four hours per week." Murray said, "Another thing I would say is that some people go swimming, collect stamps or go train spotting in their spare time, I am spending my spare time on Hearts.
