Education and Culture Committee 21 May 2013
We keep being told that provisions that are the subject of amendments should have been in the bill as introduced, and Mr Findlay will probably say the same about amendment 161, which is in my name. However, I am a relatively new MSP and this is democracy in action, as far as I am concerned.

Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee 27 February 2013
In a number of areas of policy, we are looking at new and innovative forms of funding, and I am certainly open to suggestions that the committee—the interest and expertise of a number of whose members I recognise—might have about what it would be possible to deliver. I know that MSPs who are not members of the committee—Fiona McLeod is one such member—are i...

We need to support community groups that are working on fuel poverty. With my colleague Mary Fee MSP and Jim Sheridan MP, I took the opportunity last weekend to visit the local energy action plan—LEAP—project in Bridge of Weir in Renfrewshire.LEAP provides free local services to communities in Renfrewshire.

Meeting of the Parliament 16 January 2013
Quite simply, the insertion of a purpose clause is needed because the Scottish Government’s consultation in 2010 and the evidence that we have had from various sources indicate that the law is not delivering what MSPs intended or what the public wanted.

Can we begin to say across the whole of Scottish society—at Government, MSP and local authority level, at health board chair and chief executive level and all the way down to the front line—that we are all going to do what we know has worked in Shettleston, Kirkcaldy, East Lothian and so on, and do it at scale, consistently, 24/7?

As I understand it, most businesses in the tourism sector, including our members, are small firms.Interestingly, the empty property rates rise applies to small businesses. We had a meeting with MSPs yesterday to which I brought some of our members from the small business sector.

Meeting of the Parliament 31 May 2012
We may have different views about the implications of “an independent country” or “a devolved United Kingdom”, but we all understand the choice before us and we all recognise the process by which the Parliament reaches a view.That is as it should be, because democratic decision making requires a process that is agreed by all parties and a choice that is understood by all who vote. If MSPs are entitled to those things in this debate, surely the Scottish people are entitled to an agreed process and a clear choice on Scotland’s future.The Scottish Government proposes to define the process by an act of the Scottish Parliament, although the Scotland Act 1998 provides that the union of the Crowns of Scotland and England is a matter reserved to Westminster, and so is the Parliament of the United Kingdom itself.

We could cut VAT on housing and building repairs, maintenance and improvements to create jobs and improve the quality of our built environment and our housing stock.I would dearly like to hear from those in the dependence parties exactly what their economic plan is, beyond visiting more cuts on this disunited kingdom.15:47 We welcome another debate on the Scottish economy and, in particular, the growth strategy. As a Highlands and Islands MSP...
