I am not asking you to answer those substantive questions, Sir Robert, but I raise the issue as an example of an area in which the public would want to get at the truth. That can be achieved if everyone—in this room and outwith it—can see all the documents and draw their own conclusions.

When a controversial issue—or any issue—arises, it should not be extraordinary for MSPs to ask questions; that should be their right. We have to be able to get answers—if not from Sir David then from someone else.

The point that I made is that that is not an answer which the member can get from me, as I know no more than he does about when the documents will be ready.

However, there is a danger that the message that goes out to the general public is that only the intervention of MSPs gets results. That is nice for an MSP who has managed to get a result for somebody, but it suggests something about the attitude that is taken towards the public when they seek to complain on their own behalf.It is essential that public services should strive to get things right at the beginning, so that people do not want to complain.
