17 Mar 2026 Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill (draft)
I, too, thank Liam McArthur for the approach that he has taken in engaging with members across the chamber, on both sides of the debate. I do not think that there is anybody better suited—either in temperament or in manner of engagement—to…

14 Jan 2026 Finance and Local Government
I was pleased to see in yesterday’s budget the significant increase in the Scottish Government’s international development fund, which the cabinet secretary mentioned. I was, however, disappointed—although not altogether surprised—to hear …
17 Dec 2025 Portfolio Question Time
I thank the minister for that comprehensive response. He references the important health impacts that loneliness can have on an individual. It can quite literally be a killer. We know that thousands of Scots, including many in our elderly…

3 Sep 2025 Palestine
“Never again.” Those are the words that we repeat every year when we attend Holocaust memorial day. We rightly gather and promise to honour the memories of the 6 million Jews and all those who were killed during the evil of the Holocaust. …
3 Sep 2025 Palestine
I thank Neil Bibby for his contribution so far. I also welcome Anas Sarwar’s statement that a genocide is taking place. David Lammy called it a moral outrage and Keir Starmer called it horrifying. On that very point, assuming that Neil Bi…
25 Jun 2025 Portfolio Question Time
