[THE PRESIDING OFFICER opened the meeting at 09:30]
Before we begin this morning's business, I will complete my response to yesterday's point of order from Shona Robison, who asked about an emergency question that I had declined. I passed the question, as a written question, with a request for an urgent answer. I understand that an answer was received yesterday. Is that correct?
I am not aware that I have received an answer. Do you know how it was communicated, Sir David?
In the normal manner, I dare say, but I was assured that the answer had been given yesterday.
I have checked my mail, but I will double-check; as far as I am aware, it has not arrived yet.
Thank you very much.
