If you think that a draft Official Report doesn’t accurately reflect what you said, you can ask us to review it. Only the person whose words were reported can ask for a review – no one else can do it for them. You must do this within 20 working days of the report’s publication date.
You can suggest corrections:
The editor will consider your request. We can correct anything that we got wrong and make changes that fit with our remit to be substantially verbatim and agree with our house style guide.
You may not ask for corrections that:
We will usually make any agreed corrections as soon as possible, but certainly within 35 working days of the report’s publication date. After that time, Official Reports are finalised and cannot be changed again.
If an MSP supplies incorrect information that the Official Report cannot correct, they can use the members’ corrections mechanism.
This was recommended in the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee’s 7th report (session 3).
The guidance for Members gives more information about requesting a correction:

The member is right to point out that local authorities have responsibilities in relation to such rail projects. There has been close partnership working, and I can advise that the full south car park and a small portion of the north car park will be available from Sunday 18 May. From the day of opening, there will be double the provision that was available at the previous station. South Lanarkshire Council is working closely with its contractor to complete that work.
I confirm that the bus service will call at the station from Sunday, with additional bus services calling at the station in the coming months. This transformational project will offer fully accessible and sustainable transport options for passengers as a result of the Scottish Government’s investment.
