“To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to comments by the Scottish Information Commissioner who stated, in relation to the Government’s handling of information concerning the Salmond files, “I can no longer trust the government to handle this information unsupervised and will explore more intrusive options to ensure complianc…”
“I literally follow sport from the sidelines in my role as a match official but, more than that, as a parent of two boys in Moray, I give credit to the sporting organisations in Moray and across the Highlands that provide so many opportunities for young people—boys and girls— throughout the country.”
“When we are thinking about the bill, which will undoubtedly pass at stage 3 today, I am sure unanimously, we might consider what she said in her email: “Calum can’t advocate for himself due to his complex disability, but he can express this truth: the children aren’t naughty, they are scared.” Children should not be scared in Scotland, an…”
“I rise to make my final speech in the chamber. I chose to speak in this debate, on this subject, for a number of reasons. First, the member in charge proved to be a very conscientious and determined member in getting the bill through.”
“The work that I have done as an individual member, as a party spokesperson, as a party leader and as a convener has been assisted by their tremendous efforts.”
“I am frustrated that we have politicians who cannot speak for four minutes without having the lectern up and reading from a script, daring not to deviate by taking an intervention.”

“I remind members of my declaration in the register of members’ interests that my wife is a police sergeant in Moray. I always come to debates on this topic keen to praise the efforts of our hard-working and dedicated officers locally and across Scotland while seeking to contribute their views to the debate. A number of points that I will raise have come directly from officers who are concerned. However, if those officers are watching the debate or intend to catch up later, they should be aware of their Government’s position. I want to make it very clear what the SNP is asking MSPs to vote for tonight—and I will give way to Angela Constance if she would like to explain her reasoning. The Government’s amendment deletes wording from the motion, and I am not sure what is wrong with that wording because it is 100 per cent factually correct.”
“This week, the Scottish Government is in court arguing that evil men should continue to be housed in the female prison estate. The First Minister wanted as much information as possible about that in the public domain, which is why he released the written case. In that written case, the Government’s defence of its position is to make the comparison that a mum taking a baby boy into a changing room is, somehow, the same as male murderers being in the female prison estate. Is the First Minister genuinely happy that that is the defence that his Government is making, and is he content to spend public money on that court case?”
“In that discussion, I look forward to hearing from Liam Kerr, in particular, about what his party’s solutions are to the problem of our prison population—[Interruption.] The Presiding Officer: Let us hear one another. Angela Constance:—because we all remember what the previous UK Government did when it released 10,000 prisoners without any regard to parliamentary accountability or transparency.”
“The cabinet secretary failed to answer Liam Kerr’s question, so let me repeat it. If the consultation, which lasts three days, comes back against the cabinet secretary’s proposals, will she abandon her plans or press ahead regardless? Angela Constance: I think that that is a particularly disingenuous question. [Interruption.] Douglas Ross: What? Angela Constance: I am entitled—am I not, Presiding Officer?—to share my opinion and give my view to the chamber, and, indeed, to Mr Ross. Douglas Ross: Come on! The Presiding Officer: Let us hear one another. Angela Constance: Consultation is crucially important. However, as this Parliament and Mr Ross know, at the end of the day, it will be parliamentarians who will have to vote and decide on the merits or otherwise of the regulations that I bring forward.”
“However, as I said, the expectation of the Presiding Officer is that, where commitments are made, there will be a response at the earliest opportunity.”
“What powers do we, as back benchers, or do you, as Presiding Officer, have to force or compel the Government to provide the information that it said that it would? Indeed, it got support for opposing my amendments through its commitment to release that information. The Deputy Presiding Officer : As the Presiding Officer has made clear on a number of occasions, where commitments are made by ministers, the expectation is that those will be expedited as soon as possible. I am not aware of the detail of the undertaking that ministers made on that occasion. However, the ministers will have heard the point that you made, and the expectation would be that a response would be provided to you and to the chamber as quickly as possible. Without further reflection on the detail of the case, it is difficult to say more than that.”
“I lodged amendments to the bill in order to get important information from the Government. We heard from all sides of the chamber that transparency was paramount in the issue and that we should be well informed. My amendments were not successful, because the Government whipped its members to vote them down. From the front bench, Ivan McKee gave a commitment and a guarantee that he would publish all the information that I had requested. Indeed, he urged me not to press my amendments, because he was going to publish the information anyway. My question is: how long do we have to wait? That was the end of November last year. We are now into February 2026, and the Government has still not provided that information. Why is that? Did the minister, deliberately or otherwise, mislead Parliament when he said that he would release it?”
“On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I decided to raise a point of order to get advice from you and so that the Government front bench can listen and, I hope, respond. The Presiding Officer will recall that, on 27 November, the Parliament had to meet in an emergency session to rush through legislation to fix a mistake in the Non-Domestic Rates (Liability for Unoccupied Properties) (Scotland) Bill that the Scottish National Party took through the Parliament. During the course of the consideration of the bill, we found out that the Government knew about the issue months or weeks before it originally said that it did. There was confusion everywhere: Graeme Dey had to correct the Official Report and Ivan McKee had to be asked three or four times before we could finally get an answer from him.”
“I move, That the Parliament agrees that the relevant provisions of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, introduced in the House of Commons on 17 December 2024, and subsequently amended, relating to the new clause to be inserted after clause 64, which grants powers to the Scottish Ministers to make provision that is consequential on devolved aspects of clause 11 (Use of accommodation for deprivation of liberty), so far as these matters alter the executive competence of the Scottish Ministers, should be considered by the UK Parliament. Decision Time 18:53”
“The Secretary of State for Education wrote to me on 7 January, so some timings are outwith the Government’s control in that regard. However, to give Mr Ross comfort, we are absolutely committed to looking at those issues in more detail. I am mindful of time. For the reasons that I have given, I recommend that the Scottish Parliament consents to the motion on giving the Scottish ministers powers to make provision that is consequential on devolved aspects of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, in respect of community-based and secure accommodation.”
“It is important that decisions should be taken in this Parliament, but does the cabinet secretary agree that it is also important that the Parliament’s scrutiny role is upheld? The Education, Children and Young People Committee was not able to scrutinise the LCM due to the timing—it has come straight to the chamber. That follows the earlier LCM back in June, when we were given only one day, which meant that it was not possible for us to look into it. Is that something that the Government will consider? Jenny Gilruth: Yes, it very much is. I am aware that Mr Dey, as parliamentary business manager, has been leading work on that at the Conveners Group. There are wider issues pertaining to the timetables associated with LCMs and lodging, and I recall that Mr Ross raised those exact issues at the end of June.”
“The Deputy Presiding Officer: I am actually trying to accommodate every member who has pressed their button, but in order to do that, I need co-operation from members in sticking to the time to which they have now agreed. I call Graham Simpson, for up to two minutes, to be followed by Rachael Hamilton, who will, as we have agreed, have up to one minute. 17:27”
“I am standing down— The Deputy Presiding Officer: Mr Ross— Douglas Ross: I am just about to finish, Deputy Presiding Officer. I am standing down from the Parliament, but even as a member who is standing down and will not be knocking on doors in the next few weeks asking for support, I am proud of how I will vote tonight: to progress the bill. Any SNP member who is not returning to the Parliament, or who is about to embark on the campaign trail— The Deputy Presiding Officer: Mr Ross, you will need to conclude—thank you. Douglas Ross: They should do so knowing— The Deputy Presiding Officer: Mr Ross— Douglas Ross: —that their vote tonight— The Deputy Presiding Officer: Mr Ross! Thank you very much. Douglas Ross: —will come up on the doorsteps.”
“We have heard from SNP members tonight who are going to break the whip. We have heard, I believe, from one SNP member who has spoken up in support of the Government’s position. Where are the rest? If they are happy to vote down the bill tonight simply to say that they do not agree with the general principles, they should tell us why. We have not heard from those members—they have been silent. The Government has taken up more of its speaking time with one individual member— Rona Mackay rose— The Deputy Presiding Officer: Mr Ross is concluding, Ms Mackay. Douglas Ross: The Government has taken up more of its speaking time with one individual member because the whips have, I think, been struggling to get even their cannon fodder to stand up and say why they are supporting the Government. That is not a position that I would like to reflect.”
“I have thought about it a quite lot, and I think that it might come down to politics, or perhaps Fergus Ewing was right that it comes down to personalities. The Government bears a grudge against anyone who steps out of line, and someone does not step further out of line than by resigning ministerial office. To say to the First Minister at the time, Nicola Sturgeon, that her Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill was a mess and was going to ruin the safety of women and girls, and to resign from Government, has consequences. I think that, sadly, years later, those consequences are going to be felt by some of the most vulnerable women and girls in Scotland, because the Government is still holding a grudge against the member in charge of the bill, who was brave enough to step down at that time. I have only 30 more seconds.”
“Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer—I am personally grateful to you for calling me, but we are in a terrible state in this Parliament if legislators are restricted to just two minutes to speak on an important piece of legislation. I cannot go through the formalities, as I would like to do, of praising the member in charge of the bill, who has done incredible work, as I want to get to the root of where we are tonight and at decision time. I just cannot get my head around the Government’s position on the bill. What is being asked for tonight is simply to agree to the bill’s general principles, not to get into the detail of the bill—that comes later. Those principles are agreed to by the Government, and by the party of government, so why is the Government opposing them?”
“In response to your point of order, this is a matter that has been considered by the bureau at some length, including contributions from the member in charge and from all parties. On that basis, I am not minded to take a motion without notice. The next speaker is the minister, who has up to seven minutes. 16:10”
“On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I rise as someone who also hopes to speak in the debate. I note that the first two speakers—the member in charge of the bill and the convener of the lead committee—have both questioned the time constraints that have been allocated to it. That will only continue as more members seek to make points and, I hope, take and make interventions in a debate. Therefore, I request that the Presiding Officer considers a motion without notice to extend the debate to allow future speakers full time to have a debate, including the member in charge when she is summing up, because the Parliament is able to change the rules at a whim to allow much to be debated late into the evening, and surely this is something that should be debated late into this evening. The Deputy Presiding Officer: Thank you, Mr Ross.”
“We will now move on to the next item of business. Desecration of War Memorials (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1”
“I reiterate the evidence that I gave to the Criminal Justice Committee some time ago— evidence that the chief executive of the Scottish Prison Service also gave some time ago—on the current policy: no transgender woman with a history of violence against women and girls— Douglas Ross: Man! The Deputy Presiding Officer: Members! Angela Constance:—who presents a risk of harm is placed in the female estate. Douglas Ross: They are murderers! The Deputy Presiding Officer: Mr Ross! Angela Constance: I stress that, as a responsible Government, we must ensure that our policies comply with all our legal obligations, including the Scotland Act 1998, the European convention on human rights and the recent Supreme Court judgment. The Deputy Presiding Officer: Thank you, cabinet secretary. That concludes the statement.”
“In her statement, the cabinet secretary said that the measures will not apply to prisoners who have been sentenced to more than four years in prison, because they pose the greatest risk of harm to others. Does she not understand that her Government’s policy of putting men who have committed murder in female prisons poses a great risk of harm to others? Why is that bizarre policy continuing in Scotland? Why is her Government in court today, arguing that it should continue into the future? Angela Constance: Although I am not going to comment on a live court case—[Interruption.]—I will get to the answer. With respect to the member, he will appreciate that I am not currently following the court case, which I believe is being live streamed.”
“More important, it will be my individual way of thanking and recognising Beth Morrison and Kate Sanger and the many other families they have represented on this long journey. At decision time, their efforts will, I hope, see the bill take a step forward towards bringing about improvements for our children and young people for which we have been waiting for so long. 14:52”
“Finally, although the bill does not include provisions on mandatory training in the use of restraint and seclusion, it says that the guidance must include details of training for school staff. It also provides that the Scottish Government will maintain a list of approved training providers. The Education, Children and Young People Committee supports the general principles of the bill. However, as I have set out today, there are issues that need to be addressed, and we have had an assurance from the member in charge that he is keen to address them. I say that on behalf of the committee. On a personal note, I will end by saying that, when I vote yes to the bill tonight, I will be doing so to progress an important piece of legislation.”
“As our report makes clear, communication with parents and carers is key, and the bill would create a duty on schools to inform parents and carers when their child has been subject to restraint or seclusion. Like the member in charge of the bill, we were disturbed to hear that that was not happening already. In some cases, parents and carers were not told when their child or young person had been restrained or secluded. Given that, we said that such notification must take place on the same day and that a report should be made on any intervention no later than 24 hours after the incident occurred. The bill’s recording and reporting provisions are welcome and will provide an opportunity for school staff to conduct post- incident reviews and establish any lessons learned following an incident.”
“As with all of the committee’s scrutiny, the devil is in the detail, and there were a number of areas that we felt needed to be addressed should the bill progress further today. First, consideration needs to be given to the definitions of restraint and seclusion. Although those definitions are broadly similar to the definitions in the current non- statutory guidance, we shared the concerns of witnesses that those broad definitions could lead to legal ambiguity or unintended consequences. Teaching staff, parents and carers all need clarity, and it is important that physical interventions that are not of obvious concern are not captured by the bill.”
“When that did not happen, she lodged a petition. When the petition did not work, she put forward the bill, along with Daniel Johnson. It is that type of tireless effort that makes me very proud to be standing in Parliament today, supporting the bill. The committee unanimously agreed to the general principles of the bill and welcomed the aim of putting the current guidance on a statutory footing. I am pleased to say that the Scottish Government accepted all of the report’s recommendations, some of them in part. We were concerned to hear of instances of inappropriate use of restraint and seclusion in Scotland’s schools, particularly in relation to children and young people with additional support needs or a disability.”
“Without doubt, Kate and Beth are the most determined, passionate and articulate campaigners for change, and this Parliament has an opportunity to reward their hard work by voting for the bill tonight. I believe that we simply would not be here today were it not for their efforts. We must think about the fact that Kate and Beth got involved as a result of terrible circumstances in their families. In dealing with the issues that Laura had to face, Kate, as a mother, could have tried other routes to get answers and not embarked on a campaign that has taken years to get here. When Calum came home from school that day, unable to articulate what had happened to him, Beth could have sat there and thought about what she could do. She could have complained or done various other things, but she tried to get change.”
“In addition, I thank the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee and the Finance and Public Administration Committee for their scrutiny of the bill. I put on record the Education, Children and Young People Committee’s thanks to everyone at the Donaldson Trust who generously gave their time and shared their thoughts and insights on the bill when the committee visited the campus in Linlithgow last year. However, the biggest praise must go to two individuals without whom we would not be here today. Beth Morrison and Kate Sanger have been campaigning for more than a decade for a change in the law on restraint and seclusion. I know that Kate cannot be with us today because she is attending a family funeral, but I saw Beth and Calum coming into the public gallery.”
“I am delighted to speak on behalf of the Education, Children and Young People Committee. I begin by thanking the member in charge of the bill, Daniel Johnson, for introducing such an important bill. I also apologise for intervening on him five minutes into his speech—I did not realise that he had only six minutes. Daniel Johnson’s proposal gave the Education, Children and Young People Committee, as the lead committee, the opportunity to discuss the important issue of how to ensure that restraint and seclusion are used only as a last resort in schools. I thank my committee colleagues for their work on the bill and everyone who provided evidence, either in person or by responding to our call for views.”
“If that is the level of recording, monitoring and reporting that is required when a child is injured accidentally, surely, if an injury occurs because of a deliberate physical intervention, we need just as robust a framework to sit around that. I move, That the Parliament agrees to the general principles of the Restraint and Seclusion in Schools (Scotland) Bill. 14:47”
“I do not have time to go through all of them, but I think that the most important one was about definitions. It is important to be clear that the definitions primarily set the scope for guidance. However, I note the committee’s highlighting of concerns about potential ambiguity, particularly in relation to what should be reported and recorded, so I commit to lodging amendments at stage 2 to address those specific concerns about the definitions of recording and reporting. I will close with this observation. All parents will be familiar with the slips of paper that come home with their child when they have done something such as grazing their knee after falling in the playground.”
“In articulating his points, would the member in charge of the bill like to address the campaign email that MSPs have received from the Educational Institute of Scotland, which urges us to oppose the bill? He articulated his views on that very well in an email to MSPs, but it would be useful to get those on the record. Daniel Johnson: I am afraid that I have only six minutes, and I would also like to address the points that the committee made. Essentially, what I am proposing is not new—the bill seeks to reinforce what should be existing practice. The obligation will be on local authorities and schools. Above all else, I would say that the use of physical intervention is a very serious matter, and it is vital that we have the most robust framework around it. I will turn to the committee’s recommendations.”
“I see that he is nodding and indicating that he has done so. I am more than happy to raise the matter myself with Pauline Stephen at the GTCS. It is the case that different qualifications are required in Scotland, not least the requirement to have a degree-level qualification to deliver teaching in Scotland, which does not necessarily exist in other parts of the United Kingdom. That is an important feature of our education system, and it is one that we would want to protect. I am more than happy to speak to the GTCS on Mr Ross’s behalf, but I encourage him to engage directly with the organisation, too. It is difficult for me, as cabinet secretary, to comment on the specifics of individuals without first understanding their qualifications. That would be a matter for the GTCS, which is independent of Government, to give an opinion on.”
“We have a shortage of teachers in Moray, but not necessarily a shortage of people who are willing to teach. With the large military footprint of RAF Lossiemouth and Kinloss barracks in the area, a number of the spouses of those serving there who travel up with the rest of their family are qualified to teach in England but are barred from teaching in Scotland unless they get a Scottish qualification. It would ease the efforts of Moray Council considerably if that issue could be resolved. I have raised the issue repeatedly with the cabinet secretary, and I think that she was sympathetic to it. Can we just get a solution? Jenny Gilruth: I am sympathetic to Mr Ross’s points. Of course, matters pertaining to the registration of teachers in Scotland are for the GTCS to address. I encourage Mr Ross to engage with it directly.”
“On a point of order, Presiding Officer. This has perhaps just been corrected, but the clock was acting erratically. Can you confirm that the timings will be clear? It was clearly not working about five seconds ago. The Presiding Officer: Thank you for bringing that to my attention, Mr Ross. I will certainly ensure that we are aware of anything that needs to be checked. For information, the clerks are currently putting the clock to the right time. Its appearance is a function of the fact that the debate has been split over two days; it will quickly get to the correct point at which we stopped yesterday and from where we will continue today. I call the minister to speak to amendment 60 and other amendments in the group.”
“[Interruption.] We do not have an online connection with Ms Roddick. I will investigate that and advise members appropriately. Cameron Barracks (Police Scotland Resources) 6.”
“Angela Constance: I always think that it is a matter of great regret when one member has spoken of the need for a balanced and fair debate, yet we hear another member, who is entitled to his views and whom I respect, picking one side of an argument. It is of course—[Interruption.] The Deputy Presiding Officer: Resume your seat, cabinet secretary. I have allowed supplementaries on the issue. I ask Stephen Kerr, in particular, to refrain from shouting from a sedentary position. Cabinet secretary, please be brief. Angela Constance: It is important that the courts are enabled to proceed with their deliberations on the matter. The Government respects the opinions of every court decision and, as always, we seek to comply with all our legal duties. The Deputy Presiding Officer: I call Emma Roddick for question 5.”
“Given the answers this afternoon, I can see why the Scottish National Party does not want to be questioned on this issue. In testimony, a female prisoner said that she had concerns about being housed with a biological male in the female prison estate. When that was raised, the Government shared it with the police without consulting the individual or the court. That has been described as an attempt to “silence” and “intimidate”. Aidan O’Neill, who represents For Women Scotland, said that the SNP’s actions amounted to an attempt to “discipline and punish a woman for speaking out” on gender issues. He is right, isn’t he?”
“The Deputy Presiding Officer: Mr Ross. Graeme Dey: I am old enough—perhaps depressingly old enough—to remember when the Tories presented themselves as the party of law and order, yet, yesterday, I faced calls from members on those benches to not give due regard to the risk of the Government committing contempt of court, and, today, I am being challenged to disrespect a set of live legal proceedings by facilitating a parliamentary statement on the matter in parallel to those proceedings. National Performing Companies (Audiences) 6.”
“The minister is on another planet. He says that he cannot discuss the issue because of an on-going legal case. The question is about information that the SNP put into the public domain, because the First Minister wanted the public to be better informed. Given that the SNP is going to court to continue to be allowed to house dangerous male prisoners in the female prison estate, I ask the minister this very simple question: did every cabinet secretary and Government minister agree with the written arguments that were presented in court, including the fact that they made absolutely no mention at all of women’s safety? Graeme Dey: I have already laid out the Scottish Government’s position on the matter, but, harking back to yesterday, I am struck by the Conservatives’ position— Douglas Ross: Just answer the question.”
