I am delighted that, at long last, after seven years and the cul-de-sac of Mr McConnell's tenure as the Minister for Finance, Scotland will revert to the situation that existed in 1997.
I am sorry, but I do not think that considering the paper is worth the time and effort. We could be considering many more important things that are going on in Europe.
I hope that the minister will take on board the points that the Education, Culture and Sport Committee has made and the many difficulties with drafting that we have had over the past months.
