Point of Order

Linda Fabiani (Central Scotland) (SNP):

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. In the light of previous rulings, will the Presiding Officer comment on the fact that this Executive has once again handed an Executive study—"Social Focus on Women and Men 2002"—over to the press without bringing it before the Parliament? Furthermore, the Executive has embargoed the study until one minute into tomorrow morning, so that it can be published in the press tomorrow without the Opposition parties being able to comment on the Executive's continuing inability to address inequality issues.

The Presiding Officer (Sir David Steel):

I am sorry. The Presiding Officers have no knowledge of this. Not every announcement has to be made to this Parliament. I do not know whether this is one that should be. It sounds like a matter to take up with the Executive rather than with me.
