Point of Order

Liam Kerr (North East Scotland) (Con)

On a point of order, Presiding Officer.

In an answer to Anas Sarwar, the First Minister said:

“Of course a GB energy company would be based in Scotland, because we have the majority of the renewables here”.

If he was over his brief, he would know that, at the year end 2022, Scotland had 21 per cent of total UK renewables installed capacity and 26 per cent of renewable electricity generated. As he has not corrected the record from the last time I pointed out his error, can you guide him as to how he can rectify his latest gaffe?

The Presiding Officer (Alison Johnstone)

Liam Kerr will be aware that the content of members’ contributions is not generally a matter for the chair. He will also be aware that a mechanism exists by which members can correct any inaccuracy. Thank you.

I will suspend the meeting briefly to allow the gallery to clear and members to leave the chamber.
