“Deputy Presiding Officer, you will know that I am interested in that, as you are. We were both members of the Criminal Justice Committee in the previous session of Parliament. Evidence shows that community-based sentences are effective in reducing reoffending.”
“Scotland’s prison population continues to rise despite our having the lowest number of recorded crimes, and the average custodial sentence length increased by 37 per cent between 2014-15 and 2023-24. That is all having an impact on capacity in our prisons.”
“Scotland’s prison population is at a critical point. As the motion demonstrates, the Scottish Government recognises the importance of the issue and is taking action through sustained investment, careful planning and a clear focus on public safety. The 2026-27 budget includes investment of £1 billion in Scotland’s prisons.”
“It builds on the investment of £25 million over the previous two years. I also welcome the cabinet secretary’s remarks on reviewing community justice. However, the evidence is already clear. Statistics show that people who are released from custody experience higher rates of reconviction than those who receive non-custodial sentences.”
“Given that it is unaffordable, there would be an almighty battle to deliver it, if that could happen at all. The issue is about having a credible plan, with the timescales that we have to date, to deliver for the benefit of the people of Lanarkshire and people elsewhere in Scotland, with that shift in the balance of care.”
“At what point did the Scottish Government deem that the cost outlined in the business case was too high? What discussions did it have with NHS Lanarkshire to try to resolve issues earlier?”

“I was pleased that the cabinet secretaries have offered to meet the cross-party group on adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. As chair of that group, I have received the letter on that, and I look forward to the meeting happening in the new year. One area that the group has focused on in recent months is that of mandatory reporting. I welcome what the cabinet secretary said on that in her statement. Will she say a bit more about the considerations of the national strategic group that she referred to, and when she thinks that it might draw conclusions on the potential models that she talked about?”
“Finally, I request that the Scottish Government continues to be a voice for good in the run-up to this global event. Tickets need to be affordable. We need to put our voice to that. The ticket prices are shocking. The world cup should be for everyone, regardless of nationality, race, sexuality, religion or anything else, without exception. If there are any concerns about that, we should be the first to speak out against it. I am sure that it will be for everybody. It is a showcase event, and it needs to be for absolutely everybody in the world who wants to be involved in it. I will end by simply congratulating Steve Clarke and the Scotland men’s team on a fantastic achievement. I cannot wait until next summer to see how far we get, and I am sure that it will be far. 18:37”
“I still hope to bring a members’ debate on that issue before the end of the session, but I believe that we need to capture this moment to improve things for the next generation. If we do not do that, how long will we wait for another? That is really important. Other members have mentioned licensing hours. I know that that is not the minister’s responsibility, but the times are what they are. Local pubs would probably appreciate some clarity from the Government on that, although there is an election between now and the tournament taking place. Whether it is pubs or other events, it is important to give our businesses a financial boost. Paul McLennan raised the issue of TV rights. We need to continue that campaign, because it is important that our men’s and women’s international games are on free-to-view TV.”
“You should be happy.” I said, “Yes, I am happy.” I am sure that my screen time went up rapidly in the days afterwards as I caught those goals over and over again. They were some of the most amazing goals in Scotland’s history and all in one game. As everyone is picking their favourite goal, mine was McTominay’s. I have some more serious requests for the Government that come out of this debate. I know that some of them are not the minister’s responsibility, which is fair enough, but the debate gives us a wee chance to raise them. First, we need to harness this moment for the grass-roots game. Through my work on the future of football in Scotland cross-party group, I know that grass- roots football has major problems, such as access to pitches and access for those with disabilities. The growing girls game also needs more space.”
“The buzz around the nation for the world cup is going to be amazing, whether you are there or at home. I hope that that buzz lasts right up until 19 July. As others have said, who knows? A couple of weeks ago, I was there with my eldest son, Ceard, who has been with me at all the home games in recent years. Some were great and some were not—car trips, bus trips, traffic jams, pouring rain and the Georgia game. It was all worth it for that night. I had a feeling that we were going to make the tournament, but nobody could have written just how it worked out. It was an amazing conclusion to the game, and I am going to admit on the record that I had a wee cry when I came out of the stadium that night. I do not really know why. Ceard said, “Dad, why are you crying?”
“When I got back to our street, my dad had put Scotland flags up on a rope that went between my house and what was my gran’s house at the time, on the other side of the street. It was an unbelievable feeling that day. Even the narrow defeat by Brazil, as others have mentioned, could not dampen all our spirits. However, what none of us knew on 10 June 1998 was that we would wait 28 years to do it again. During that time, the men’s team have been to two Euros, under the stewardship of Steve Clarke, and the women’s team flew the flag at the world cup. I enjoyed each of those tournaments, where the boys and girls did us really proud, but I think that there is something extra special about the men’s world cup, probably because it is the original one and has that prestige—I think that we can all feel it.”
“It is a great pleasure to speak in this debate, and I thank Keith Brown for lodging the motion. What a fantastic achievement from Steve Clarke and the team. Before I reflect on that amazing Tuesday night a few weeks ago, I want to, as others have done, think back to the last time we were at the word cup, particularly to 10 June 1998. I was in sixth year at Coatbridge high school, and I remember the buzz that day. Everybody had their “See you, Jimmy” hats on—they were the thing at the time—and, of course, the school closed early to let everyone go home and get ready for the game. I recall getting changed in PE, which was the last lesson, and everybody could not wait to get home. I walked the short distance—about a mile or so—between the school and my house.”
“To ask the Scottish Government how much it will allocate in its forthcoming budget to local authorities to provide financial support to those affected by reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, including businesses. (S6O-05273)”
“To ask the Scottish Government whether it has given any further consideration to initiating a consultation on the establishment of a kindergarten phase for children in Scotland. (S6O-05254)”
“To ask the Scottish Government, in relation to potential social security implications, what recent discussions it has had with the United Kingdom Government regarding compensation for women against state pension inequality. (S6O-05215)”
“There is absolutely no doubt about that—anybody who uses the M8 would agree with that—but this is not the way to do it. I join the calls for Glasgow City Council to think again on the issue. 13:33”
“I urge Glasgow City Council to put the brakes on, so to speak, with its proposal and, instead, to work with other local authorities, such as the council in North Lanarkshire, where I am, to improve public transport routes across the region that is served by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport. Paul Sweeney raised a very important point about the Clyde tunnel, which deserves wider consideration. There is an argument that we should all pay for the tunnel. However, it cannot be done by charging people who go into and out of Glasgow. There may be an argument that all the nearby local authorities should help pay, because it is not fair that people in Drumchapel who do not use cars pay for the Clyde tunnel, while people such as me can use it without paying. I agree that it is important to reduce car use and ease congestion on the M8.”
“The cabinet secretary will be happy to hear that, in my constituency, train services, such as those on the Sunnyside, Kirkwood and Stepps lines, are generally pretty good at getting people into and out of the town. The buses are a bit more hit and miss and are often unreliable for a variety of reasons that I do not have time to go into. My office picks up a lot of work on that issue, particularly in relation to the northern corridor of my constituency—probably more so than in relation to the Coatbridge area, where the relatively new Citylink service has been a big help in picking up some of the slack.”
“As we have heard, my constituents, who have contacted me in fairly large numbers, are very much against the proposal. Folk feel that they will be penalised for travelling for work or leisure. There could also be the unintended consequence of people in places such as Lanarkshire and my constituency feeling more negative towards Glasgow. It is an amazing city with so much to offer, so why would the council want to do that? However, I remind the chamber that this is only a proposal. Please let us remember that and bring some calm to our debate. I understand that part of the reasoning behind the proposal is to increase public transport use and, therefore, reduce congestion. However, public transport is not always a suitable option.”
“I had not intended to contribute, so thank you for allowing me to speak, Presiding Officer. I will try to be quick and to take less than four minutes. I also thank Jackson Carlaw for bringing the debate to the chamber. I represent Coatbridge and Chryston in North Lanarkshire, which directly adjoins Glasgow city, so heading into town, as the saying goes, is a major and regular part of life. People travel into town for work, study, leisure, health appointments and so on. I do not often speak in the chamber on a Glasgow City Council policy or decision, but, as others have said, this proposal directly affects my constituents, who, incidentally, do not get a vote in Glasgow City Council elections and, therefore, need me to speak for them.”
“I assure Fulton MacGregor that I am totally committed to delivering on those outcomes.”
“That set out the resilience structures that are currently in place in Scotland and the work that we have already undertaken in response to the module 1 report to improve our approaches. We have committed to laying a report every three years for the Parliament to scrutinise. Whole-system civil emergency preparedness includes preparedness for pandemics, but it is worth recognising that the next civil emergency may not look like the last Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, we need to ensure that we are as resilient as possible. To make that whole system work, we have established a specific programme of work to improve our preparedness across all the Scottish Government. Ministers have oversight of that work and senior officials from across the Scottish Government are progressing it.”
“Will the Deputy First Minister join me in acknowledging that the most meaningful way to recognise the loss, hurt and suffering of the people of Scotland during the pandemic is to learn from the evidence and continue to make measurable improvements in pandemic planning and preparedness? Will she reaffirm the Scottish Government’s commitment to delivering on those outcomes? Kate Forbes: As I said in my statement, it is in recognition of the loss, hurt and suffering experienced by people across Scotland that it is vital that we show that we have learned the lessons from the pandemic, and that we make improvements for the future. We are committed to delivering on those improvements. On 30 September, we laid our first report on the issue, “Scottish Government Report on Whole System Civil Emergency Preparedness 2025”, in Parliament.”
“However, organisations cannot take on apprentices to pass on those skills, because the apprenticeship frameworks do not exist for them. Skills Development Scotland does not consider that there is sufficient interest in such skills to develop the relevant frameworks. If we do not update the guidance in that regard, we risk losing the ability to produce tweeds and tartans and to restore and refurbish our historic buildings. I urge the Scottish Government to reconsider the guidance, as responsibility for apprenticeships is moved to the Scottish Funding Council, to allow for—indeed, to encourage—the creation of apprenticeship frameworks in relation to skills that are culturally, historically or strategically significant, even if there will be only a handful of apprentices in any given year. 15:51”
“That sort of intentional creation of gender inequality using public money must be challenged. Further, at a time of financial challenge, public money should be spent in line with Government priorities, such as net zero. The final matter that I would like to bring to the Scottish Government’s attention is that of apprenticeships in key traditional skills. From the creation of tartans and tweeds to the restoration of traditional masonry in buildings, there is a host of traditional skills in Scotland where the current cohort of workers is ageing. Those skills are important to the fabric of our history and culture. They have significance for tourism and for refurbishment of structures of historic significance.”
“15:49 Lorna Slater: In my opening remarks, I voiced my concerns about the fact that gender inequality appears to be built into our apprenticeship system. Not only are most apprentices men, but women apprentices are consigned to lower-paying sectors and lower-paying jobs. That cannot stand. Quota systems must be introduced to ensure that everyone is benefiting equally. Public money cannot be used to trap women in low pay. Increasing the pay of women is one of the most significant interventions that can be made to reduce poverty and increase income tax receipts. To be honest, I have similar concerns about much of the provision of college courses, which is something that the Scottish Government theoretically has a say in. We appear to be using public money to teach boys to weld and girls to cut hair.”
“That is why we have proposed a Scottish graduate visa, which would ensure that Scotland can retain the talent of those who study here. Scotland has huge potential. By continuing to invest in education, apprenticeships and skills, we are ensuring that every young person has a chance to fulfil their future. Despite the pressures from Westminster, we remain determined to support learners, strengthen our economy and build a fairer and more prosperous Scotland for all. The Deputy Presiding Officer: I am sympathetic to Fulton MacGregor for the loss of his voice, but I would be grateful if members who were fortunate enough to have been at Hampden would not rub it in for those of us who were not. We move to closing speeches.”
“That is why this year’s programme for government commits to improving school-age and adult career services, including better information on job prospects and earnings. We are also expanding recognition of prior learning, helping people to change careers and build on the skills that they already have. As we look ahead, we must confront the reality that many of Scotland’s skills shortages have been driven by Brexit and UK immigration policy. Scotland was taken out of the European Union against its will, losing £2.3 billion in revenue, and faces higher borrowing costs as a result. Labour’s migration plans will make it harder to attract international workers and students. Those policies run counter to Scotland’s needs and values and, by contrast, the SNP recognises the immense contribution that migrants make.”
“It is not just colleges and universities that have been affected; businesses in Coatbridge and Chryston and across the country are feeling the impact of rising energy costs and the national insurance increase. Those costs reduce their ability to hire apprentices and invest in local jobs. I hear that often from businesses when I am out and about visiting them, as I am sure other members do. Despite the pressures, Scotland remains committed to expanding skills and apprenticeships. This year, the SNP Government is providing £185 million to deliver 25,000 new modern apprenticeships, 5,000 foundation apprenticeships and 1,200 graduate apprenticeships, while supporting more than 38,000 apprentices who are already in training. Supporting young people goes beyond qualifications. It means giving them confidence, guidance and personalised support.”
“Tens of thousands of learners progress through Scotland’s colleges each year, and the Scottish Government continues to support them, with more than £750 million invested into our 24 colleges and the apprenticeships that they deliver. However, we all recognise that colleges and universities are facing financial pressures, which have been intensified by the austerity that has been imposed by the UK Labour Government. Its cuts restrict Scotland’s public finances and limit our ability to invest even more in education. Rising energy bills, inflation and increased employer national insurance contributions have created around £50 million in extra costs for Scotland’s educational institutions.”
“With innovative programmes such as Scotland’s first dental nursing degree and the learning well online platform for adult learners, the college is transforming opportunities locally. Successful students such as Chloe Sandilands, who was in the press after she overcame homelessness to become a champion for inclusion and wellbeing, have shown the life-changing impact of a supportive college environment. That is exactly what investment, innovation and fairness can achieve for places such as Coatbridge and Chryston. Colleges across Scotland play a vital role every day. They are powerhouses of learning and aspiration, ensuring that learners gain the skills that our economy needs now and in the future.”
“I have to make the same apology about my voice as the Minister for Higher and Further Education did, because I was at Hampden last night. Nowhere is the importance of Scotland’s colleges clearer than in my constituency of Coatbridge and Chryston. New College Lanarkshire, which is a campus in Coatbridge where I am a regular visitor, was recently named the further education institute of the year at The Herald education awards. It secured four awards, including the widening access award for its pioneering undergraduate school, which was created with the University of the West of Scotland. As the first degree-level school on a Scottish college campus, it is opening up fairer and more accessible routes into higher education. Almost half of its first cohort came from some of the most socially and economically challenged parts of Lanarkshire.”
“It is a great pleasure to speak about the vital work that is under way across our education and skills system, which is helping people of all ages to reach their potential and is strengthening the foundations of Scotland’s economy. At the heart of that effort is a simple belief that every young person deserves a chance to succeed, and that Scotland thrives when its people thrive. The SNP Government is investing more than £2 billion to give people access to education, training and opportunities that shape lives. That investment is guided by a clear purpose: building a fair, prosperous and successful economy, supported by an education and skills system that is flexible, responsive and ready to meet the needs of communities, employers and future industries.”
“To ask the Scottish Government what support is being provided to groups and people to make use of the community asset transfer scheme. (S6O-05164)”
“We are working with health boards to make access easy and convenient, supported by a national campaign and engagement with trusted community voices to highlight the seriousness of flu. In concert with the chief medical officer, I have written to all NHS chief executives and social care providers in Scotland to ask them to set out how they are supporting health and social care workers to get vaccinated. Digital reminders have been introduced, and health and social care staff are receiving prompts to get vaccinated. Boards are also offering drop-in clinics and appointments that can be booked in any health board area, making it simpler for people with busy lives.”
“The recent media reports about the upcoming flu season are very concerning, as the cabinet secretary has said. Will he outline the measures that will be taken to ensure a high level of uptake of flu vaccinations as we approach the colder weather, when flu becomes more prevalent in our communities? What more can members across the Parliament do to encourage uptake in our communities? Neil Gray: I thank Fulton MacGregor for giving me the opportunity to put on the record the importance of vaccination as part of our preparedness for winter. Experts in Public Health Scotland and the Scottish Government are closely monitoring the flu situation, but vaccination remains the best protection against flu. That is not just my message—the message of experts is clear that everyone who is eligible should come forward for vaccination.”
“To ask the Scottish Government what discussions it has had with North Lanarkshire Council regarding the reported coal spoil fire in Shawhead, Coatbridge, and any assurances that can be given to the public. (S6O- 05113)”
“I therefore urge anyone who might be considering opting for a scan outwith the NHS, for any reason, to select a provider that is regulated by HIS. It will not surprise the Deputy Presiding Officer to hear that I had other things to say, but I am not going to have time, so I will conclude by saying that, although we recognise the progress that we have made, the dedication of our NHS staff and the decisive action that is already under way to make services even safer, we must also acknowledge the challenges that have been highlighted in recent reports and in the testimonies that have been shared today and ensure that constituents who come to us with concerns feel validated and heard and, most important, that lessons are learned and that our services continue to be among the best and safest in the world. 16:24”
“I hope that I have time to raise an issue involving another constituent who does so much for families across Lanarkshire and Scotland: Julie Morrison from the fabulous Baby Lost Retreat, who wrote to me this week asking for clarification on what regulation or oversight is currently in place for private clinics offering non-NHS pregnancy scans. I put that to the Government, and I thank the Minister for Public Health and Women’s Health for her response, which clarified that independent clinics where services are provided by a doctor, dentist, nurse, midwife or dental technician have to register with HIS, and that any clinics that are registered with HIS are inspected to ensure that they meet the rigorous standards that are expected of their NHS counterparts.”
“I should also say, as I did last week in the chamber, that my family has had three fantastic experiences at Wishaw general’s maternity ward during the births of our three children. Each time, we have found the staff responsive, helpful and utterly professional. As Willie Rennie said, although we know that that experience is very much the norm, sometimes it is our job as MSPs to represent constituents who do not experience the norm. It is important that everyone gets the same service, and that when they do not—as in the case of my constituent—lessons are learned.”
“I have written to the cabinet secretary on that, and I know that a response is imminent, but I must put my constituent’s case on the record again, as it is imperative that all mothers feel that they are an integral part of their care and in decision-making processes when they are pregnant and giving birth. Even one case like my constituent’s is one too many, but it is important to acknowledge the significant progress that has been made in Scotland during the past two decades. Rates of stillbirth, infant mortality and neonatal deaths have fallen markedly. Those improvements are the result of sustained investment, innovation and collaboration between clinicians, midwives and the Government.”
“There needs to be more middle ground on the issue, with the Government and Opposition parties moving into positions where more agreement can be found. The issue is far too big for party politics. It is big for my constituents. I will leave my comments on that issue there. I also want to raise the case of a constituent who I mentioned during the cabinet secretary’s statement last week. She contacted me about her experience of being pregnant, which culminated in a traumatic experience during childbirth and an exhausting fight to be heard. I should also say, for clarity, that the baby is now doing well.”
“Although Opposition members have a duty to be responsible for what they say about the realignment of services in Lanarkshire and the safety of children, I also believe that the Government needs to be open to working with local communities and be willing to change its mind. People in Lanarkshire feel that there is a downgrade. I know that the decision is clinically led—and the cabinet secretary made that point— but I do not think that we can tell people how they should feel or that their experiences and views are wrong. I am sure that no one has that intention, but it is what a lot of people believe has happened. It is incumbent on the Government to respond compassionately. Jackie Baillie: Will the member take an intervention? Fulton MacGregor: I am not going to have time—apologies.”
“The Government is deeply concerned by that report. I take this opportunity to raise concerns for expectant mothers in Lanarkshire that my constituents have brought to me. Like other Lanarkshire MSPs—those who have spoken today have mentioned it—I, too, have had meetings and contact with constituents and hospital staff in relation to the situation at Wishaw neonatal unit. That has included meetings with the minister. It is safe to say that people are generally not happy with the decision. That can be seen from the number of people who have signed the petition. Opposition parties place a certain narrative on this issue, and the Government another. We have heard that play out today, so I will not go into it again. The Parliament has a responsibility to people.”
“The Government has also established a new maternity and neonatal oversight group to provide strategic leadership and accountability for those vital services. The group will ensure that every NHS board is supported and, where necessary, challenged to deliver the safest and most consistent standards of care. Scotland benefits from a strong, independent inspection regime through Healthcare Improvement Scotland. The Scottish Government has commissioned HIS to develop new national maternity standards, which will be published early next year. Those standards will strengthen consistency and quality across Scotland, ensuring that, regardless of where they live, every woman and baby can expect to have the same high level of safe, person-centred care. Some of my colleagues have already commented on the recent HIS report on NHS Lothian.”
“To start, I, too, pay tribute to the families who have come forward so bravely and who have informed this debate. At the heart of today’s discussion lies an issue of the deepest importance: the safety, dignity and wellbeing of mothers, babies and families across our country. I acknowledge the concerns that have been raised following recent inspection reports into maternity services. Those reports highlight serious issues in some areas and, as we have heard, the Scottish Government takes the findings extremely seriously. Where any failings have been identified, immediate action has been demanded—and rightly so. Safe, effective care depends on well-supported staff. That is why this Government has made record investments in our NHS, including funding specifically to increase the number of midwives across the country.”
“Amendment 89, as amended, agreed to. The Presiding Officer: At this point, we will suspend for a comfort break, and we will return at 7.25 pm sharp. 19:09 Meeting suspended. 19:25 On resuming—”
