Presiding Officer’s Statement

The Presiding Officer (Alison Johnstone)

Members will be aware that Buckingham Palace has advised that the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended that she remain under medical supervision at Balmoral. Like Westminster, we will continue with our business at this time and will keep members updated. On behalf of all members and staff at the Scottish Parliament, I send our thoughts and our prayers to Her Majesty and the royal family.
