It seems entirely reasonable that the job of the First Minister of Scotland—and, I hope, the job of the entire Parliament—is to defend the Scottish interest as best we can, whatever the circumstances.
I undertake to ask the appropriate minister to contact the companies concerned to see how the best interests of the south-west of Scotland can be protected.
I hope to contact him soon to talk about the elections in Scotland, the procedures and how best we can have a more thorough and independent inquiry into that matter.
The other thing that we have done, which is linked to that, is based on the fact that the review asked whether we were certain that we had our best account managers working with our best, highest-growth businesses.
