On a point of order, Presiding Officer. During First Minister's question time in recent weeks, the Presiding Officer has normally allowed a question on urgent constituency business. As you will know, I gave notice about the urgent situation in my constituency for workers at Ayrshire Metal Products. However, the Presiding Officer did not take my question on that situation as urgent constituency business today. Knowing that back benchers appreciate that slot within First Minister's question time, will you give an assurance that time will continue to be set aside during First Minister's question time to allow back benchers to raise important constituency matters?
The member will appreciate that I am not in a position to give any response about what happened this morning. The position that the Presiding Officer has announced in the past still stands. As the member has had the opportunity to make her point this afternoon, I hope that we can leave the matter there for the moment.
