Motion, as amended, agreed to, That the Parliament recognises the continuing cross-Parliament support that enabled the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 to be passed, which included putting Scotland’s national approach to improving children’s wellbeing, Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC), on a statutory footing; acknowledges that the named person service is an important component of this approach, developed in response to parental demand during the piloting of GIRFEC in Highland to provide a single point of contact for all children and families to go to should they need support and advice; notes that the legal challenge to these provisions has now been rejected by the Scottish courts twice; welcomes the powerful collective effort by the public sector, third sector and parent/family organisations to make the duties drive improvements in the lives of children and young people, and calls on all members to support implementation of all the GIRFEC provisions of the Act as part of a shared ambition to ensure that all children in Scotland get the best...

I realise that, but colleagues are making the point that we need to consider the issue very seriously. We would do that best by considering it as work to be looked at on its own that could read across to other matters.

I was not allowed to go quite that far in terms of the admissibility of my amendment, so my amendment does what is in my view the next best thing: it creates a legal obligation on the Scottish Government to monitor the situation and publish the results in a transparent fashion.

Fortunately, we believe, the women of Scotland understand this Government and this First Minister only too well.15:13 I thank Jackson Carlaw for his contribution—his contributions to these ministerial appointment debates are becoming infamous—which was characteristically funny and, equally characteristically, completely lacking in any substance. Perhaps it was the best advert he could have made for more women in politics.I also thank Jackie Baillie for a speech that certainly started out as gracious but quickly went downhill after that.

That is an important point and I must stress that we do not have a definitive list of which core paths are affected by the Commonwealth games; we rely on the local authority to come to us if it feels that it is necessary to take advantage of the provisions in the order to ensure that a path is closed for a particular venue, whether that is Barry Buddon or another site.I am not in a position to share a definitive list with the committee, but when any proposal comes before ministers we have to take seriously the implications of closure, ensuring that responsible access to the countryside and to other sites is protected as best...

If crops are not protected and people stop cropping, there could be a problem with what happens not only to the agricultural or crofting side but to the environmental side. This question is perhaps best put to Mr MacDonald. It is clear that the common agricultural policy and the Scotland rural development programme are crucial for farmers and crofters in th...

I am sure that the Crown would take that into account in deciding who was best placed to investigate. With regard to the police investigations and review commissioner, when other bodies have been set up in the past, people have sought to revisit issues.
