Point of Order
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. My comments during First Minister’s questions were over the line. I would like to withdraw them and to apologise to both the chamber and the First Minister.
I am grateful that Ms White has reflected on her behaviour and that she has apologised to the chamber for those remarks.
You will be in no doubt at all, Ms White, that great offence was caused. I would like to be absolutely certain that the apology is unambiguous, that you withdraw the remarks, and that you apologise whole-heartedly. Can you please stand and confirm that that is the case?
I confirm, Presiding Officer.
Thank you. The fact that, on this occasion, no further action will be taken does not in any way detract from the seriousness with which I view this incident. Members must be in no doubt at all that I expect that their conduct at all times will be worthy of that of a member of the Scottish Parliament.
