As the minister will know, violence against women and girls is one of the areas to which I have paid great attention since I have become an MSP. I often meet with representatives of organisations in the violence against women and girls sector.
We must treasure that power, we must celebrate it, and we must not take it for granted. 18:04 Like all MSPs who represent what we know as Burns country, it is an honour for me to speak in today’s important debate.
