No
Yes

He served as a counselor and an MP simultaneously

Answer

The answer is no. There is no record of Paul Sweeney ever being elected to the UK's House of Commons, which would have made him an MP, while also serving in the Scottish Parliament as an MSP. He served three separate terms in the Scottish Parliament but never held a seat in the UK Parliament.
