I welcome Fiona Hyslop's initiation of this debate. As is the case for many MPs and MSPs, several of my constituency cases are associated with questions of debt, whether that is consumer debt or debt associated with public agencies.
Our constituents are—rightly and properly—demanding fair and square dealing from ministers and civil servants and our bounden duty as MSPs is to see that they are treated in that way.
I have participated in many question-and-answer sessions, which have ranged from primary 2 pupils asking me what I do as an MSP to senior pupils wanting to know whether I think that MSPs are worth their salaries.
I think that everybody has worked very hard and we have had good and robust debates, which is good for the whole Parliament.The committee members who are definitely not coming back as MSPs are Janis Hughes and Kate Maclean.
