Point of Order

Tommy Sheridan (Glasgow) (SSP):

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. Given the decision of City of Edinburgh Council yesterday and the prestigious award to Glasgow City Council last week of European city of sport 2003, will you reflect on your choice of First Minister's questions for tomorrow to allow the First Minister the opportunity properly to congratulate the city of Glasgow on that fantastic award?

The Presiding Officer (Sir David Steel):

I am obliged to you, Mr Sheridan, for giving me notice of that point of order, but I am afraid that I am bound by standing order 13.6.6, which requires me to select First Minister's questions on a Monday afternoon for Thursday. It sometimes happens that events overtake us in between, but there is nothing that I can do about it. However, you have drawn attention to something very important under the guise of a point of order.
