On resuming—
Before we begin this afternoon's meeting, I am sure that members would wish to welcome in the gallery the members of the British-Spanish parliamentary conference who are meeting here in Edinburgh.
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I draw the chamber's attention to an error in the printed Official Report of the Borders rail link debate last Thursday, which mistakenly indicated that I was speaking on behalf of the Conservative party. We in the Conservatives—[Laughter.] That idea might not please Conservative members, but it scares me witless.
Many strange things were said during that debate, including by Mr Russell, who described me as no spring chicken. The record will speak for itself.
