The next item of business is a statement by Lorna Slater on an update on Scotland’s deposit return scheme. The minister will take questions at the end of her statement, so there should be no interventions or interruptions.

I thank Mr Golden for his request. Parliament agreed yesterday to include the statement. I am not minded to accept a motion without notice, but I will do my very best to ensure that we take as many members’ questions as possible.

Before I pass over to the minister, I will say that the content of contributions is generally a matter for the member concerned, but I remind all members of the need to treat one another with courtesy and respect at all times, including in the language that we use in the chamber.

I will address Mr Cole-Hamilton’s point of order. The member refers to footage that I have not yet seen. I point out that it is a matter of courtesy and respect that responses should address the specific details of questions put.

The next question is, that motion S6M-08053, in the name of Kevin Stewart, on a dementia strategy, be agreed to.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament welcomes the holding of a National Conversation to inform a New Dementia Strategy for Scotland in late 2022; recognises the key themes that have emerged from this National Conversation, including the need to change how dementia is talked about; supports the Scottish Government’s commitment to challenge stigma and promote and protect the rights of people with dementia as valued citizens of Scotland, to value the importance of grassroots community projects to individuals, families and local communities, and to build on Scotland’s world-leading commitment to post-diagnostic support to ensure that all people with dementia have the opportunity to benefit from it; supports the need for a long-term vision and set of priorities to improve the experiences and quality of support and services for people living with dementia and those who provide them with care and support; recognises the value of established lived experience groups, and welcomes action by the Scottish Government to build on this and work with the National Dementia Lived Experience Panel and other key stakeholders to develop a new Dementia Strategy for Scotland.
