Chamber and committees

Thank you. Please respond as briefly as possible, Lord Advocate.

Thank you very much indeed, Lord Advocate.

I call Mark Griffin, who joins us remotely.

The cabinet secretary will now take questions on the issues raised by his statement. I am conscious that his statement has overrun, for understandable reasons. I intend to protect the 20 minutes or so that have been allocated for questions. However, I would be grateful if members and the cabinet secretary could keep questions and answers as brief as possible.

I call Liam Kerr to speak to and to move amendment S6M-01293.1.

I am very happy to recompense you for the time, Mr Leonard.

The member does not have time to take an intervention. He is winding up.

We had enough sedentary interventions, Mr Cole-Hamilton.

Before I call Jackie Baillie, I invite members who want to ask a question, if they have not already done so, to press their request-to-speak button now, or as soon as possible.

The next item of business is a debate on motion S6M-01293, in the name of Michael Matheson, on a net zero nation.
