Question
To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on whether there should be a central point of expertise to support and guide the families of resident Scots who have died abroad in suspicious circumstances.
Answer
I do not believe that the current system is wholly satisfactory. I look forward to the publication of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Deaths Abroad and Consular Services report and any recommendations it makes in this area which lie within the competence of the Scottish Government. I am keen to explore this issue further.
