Point of Order
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. In view of the strong feeling in the Scottish Parliament, across all parties, against Mike Tyson, convicted rapist, being permitted to fight in Glasgow, can you provide further information on how that matter might be progressed?
I understand that the two motions that are on our business bulletin—one from Dorothy-Grace Elder and one from Hugh Henry—have been signed by members of all parties. The total number of members who have signed those two motions constitutes a majority of the non-ministerial members of the Parliament. That being so, I propose to exercise the authority given to me by rule 3.1(d)—to represent the Parliament in exchanges with any governmental body—to convey that opinion to the Home Secretary immediately. I will do that. [Applause.]
