He was elected as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for the West of Scotland region at the 2003 election.[2] McFee served on the Scottish Parliament's Procedures and Justice Committees.[3] He was involved in local campaigns to save Ferguson's shipyard in Port Glasgow[4] and to retain the name of the University of Paisley.[5]
