Meeting of the Parliament 16 March 2016
The bill is complex and controversial, and the fact that we had to pull two pieces of legislation into one bill made the challenge facing us more complex and tougher.

Those principles are not new to the Government or in general; rather, they are attributable to Adam Smith, in book V of “The Wealth of Nations”. The present council tax’s compliance with the first three of those maxims might be debated, but most recognise that the council tax, as set out in the Local Government Finance Act 1992—it has been with us for more...

We had an objection to a lap-dancing club at the time of the transitional arrangements, brought by one of the licensing standards officers, and that led to the appeal in the now famous case of Brightcrew Ltd v City of Glasgow Licensing Board.

Although it has never been the case that ministers’ decisions have been biased or influenced by political considerations, it is a perception that is often hard to refute, so it is better that in the future those decisions will be taken away from the political spotlight and be made at arm’s length from ministers.Amendment 409 also provides for the panels to be able to draw on advice from HMIE, as well as information from the education authority and any other person, just as ministers may obtain expert advice from HM Inspectorate of Education at the call-in stage.The judgment in the case of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar v...

Nevertheless, I recognise that we must always keep it under review and I am acutely aware of the fact that a number of recent events—the failures of care at the Elsie Inglis nursing home, the Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland’s report on Mrs V and the collapse of Southern Cross Healthcare—will have dented public confidence in the services that we provi...
