Meeting of the Parliament [Draft]

Post-school Education and Skills Funding Body Landscape

Meeting date: 6 February 2025

Liam McArthur

That concludes this item of business. There will be a brief pause before we move to the next item of business to allow front benches to change over.

Post-school Education and Skills Funding Body Landscape

Meeting date: 6 February 2025

The next item of business is a statement by Graeme Dey on simplifying the post-school education and skills funding body landscape in Scotland. The minister will take questions after his statement, so there should be no interventions or interruptions.

Be as brief as possible, cabinet secretary.

Portfolio Question Time

Meeting date: 6 February 2025

Liam McArthur

Good afternoon. The first item of business is portfolio questions on net zero, energy and transport. I advise members that there is a lot of interest in supplementaries, so I ask that we please have questions with limited preamble and answers that are as brief as possible.

The minister generously did not take up his full allocation of 10 minutes, so I can take the two colleagues who still want to ask a question.

The minister will now take questions on the issues that were raised in his statement. I intend to allow around 20 minutes for questions, after which we will move to the next item of business. As ever, I would be grateful if members who wish to ask a question pressed their request-to-speak buttons if they have not already done so.

Members, we listened to all the other questioners with courtesy. We should do the same for Ms Mackay.

There are a couple of supplementary questions and I will try to get them both in, but they will have to be brief, as will the responses.
