Labour is trying to limit and control the constitutional debate because it is trying desperately to retain a grip on power, rather than considering what is best for the people of Scotland. It is hardly surprising that Labour does not know what is best for the Scottish people, given that it was driven from power in 2007 because it turned against the Scottish people.The Parliament is at its best when it strives for consensus.

I have the great pleasure of being a member of the European and External Relations Committee, and my experience of dealing with the EU at all its levels is that it can best be dealt with there. The European office over there is good at bringing in a range of people and setting up sessions in which issues can be discussed.

In this case, no amendments have been lodged and we have used provisions in the Scotland Act 1998 and standing orders to enable us to truncate the procedure and move straight to the final stage.As was mentioned in the preliminary stage debate, the bill has not taken much time to pass through Parliament and some may say that it has not excited great interest in committee or in the Parliament—despite my best...

Members will determine the best course of action on the sentencing council and the role that judges need to play as part of the wider concern that we all have about the impact in our parliamentary areas on individuals, not only the victims, but young men who, at a parti...
