Point of Order
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. This week, both the First Minister and the Deputy First Minister have repeatedly said that the United Kingdom Government will cut Scotland’s capital budget by 10 per cent over the next five years. However, in evidence to the Finance and Public Administration Committee, the Scottish Fiscal Commission made it clear that there will be a 20 per cent cut to Scotland’s budget over the next five years. Will the First Minister and the Deputy First Minister now confirm that the cuts to Scotland’s capital budget that have been imposed by the UK Tories will in fact be much deeper than they indicated?
Mr Gibson, I am sure that, at this point in your parliamentary career, you are aware that that is not a point of order.
We will therefore move on in a moment to the next item of business.
