Point of Order

Brian Fitzpatrick (Strathkelvin and Bearsden) (Lab):

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. Not least in the light of the presence of our visitors in the distinguished visitors' gallery, will there be an early opportunity for the Minister for Justice to make a statement to the Scottish Parliament on the implications of today's announcement that the plaintiffs' appeals in the Fairchild case and other related cases have been unanimously successful in the House of Lords, offering justice to thousands of workers, their families and trade unions, so that we can hear what the implications are for the abbreviated procedures in the Court of Session?

The Deputy First Minister will have heard what you have said. It is not up to me to decide when ministers make statements.
