I would like to see a similar issues paper sent both to the party business managers as a basis for group discussion and to individual MSPs.

Four weeks later, the possible leader of the SNP enters the fray, and two weeks later, Mr Wilson enters it. At the risk of boring MSPs who are concerned about real-world issues, I repeat that the published GDP index showed no change in quarter 4 of 1999 and a slight fall in quarter 1 of 2000.
