14 Jul 2026   Coastal Communities: Isolation and Hidden Deprivation

9 Jul 2026   Lobular Breast Cancer: Moon Shot Project

This is not a party-political issue; it is something the shadow Minister and the whole House can agree on. In 2022, the Scottish Government began the process of improving their imaging kits with the introduction of 3D mammography, which is…

6 Jul 2026   Civil Service Pensions

1 Jul 2026   Fishing Industry: Government Support

I have no brief to speak on behalf of the Scottish Government. Of course, our policy is very clear: we want to rejoin the European Union, because Brexit has been a disaster for the Scottish economy. However, I do not believe that we want a…

1 Jul 2026   Fishing Industry: Government Support

Thank you for that clarification, Chair. I have six pages of almost entirely redacted correspondence, so it is clear that somebody does not want us to see these things. In subsequent correspondence between the Scotland Office and the ch…
