On 26 October 2012, I wrote to the Lord Advocate on the issue of legal advice concerning the position of an independent Scotland and its possible membership of the European Union. To date—126 days later—in spite of reminder letters and calls having been sent and made by my office, I have not yet had the courtesy of a reply.
I thank Patricia Ferguson for her point of order. You will be aware that that is not a matter for me, under standing orders; it is a matter for the Scottish Government. However, I expect that the Scottish Government will take note of what you have just said.
