Scottish Parliament: Housing ( 4 Dec 2013)

Hugh Henry: ...been too busy going out to meet people who really mattered. She said that that had prevented her from coming to the Parliament to discuss the key issue of housing. Apart from showing a fundamental contempt for the Parliament—to be honest, she is not alone in the SNP Administration in that—the minister’s explanation represents a profound statement of what the SNP’s priorities are....

Scottish Parliament: Further Education (30 Jan 2013)

Hugh Henry: ...the Scottish National Party Government. They have been treated like second-class citizens compared with our universities, and it is as if their product is not as highly valued. Worse still is the contempt that has been shown to staff and students, who were told by Mike Russell—aided and abetted by Alex Salmond—that funding was increasing when it was actually being cut. Mike Russell and...

Scottish Parliament: College Funding 2012-13 (20 Nov 2012)

We are seeing a number of people who have had principled views on independence for many years and who passionately believe in it prepared to put aside all their other principles and their integrity in order to bolster the First Minister’s fading credibility on something on which he has...

Scottish Parliament: Volunteering ( 8 Oct 2009)

Hugh Henry: ...they said. It was grossly unfair and was unhelpful in the context of the debate. On the one hand, it showed that she did not fully understand what was being discussed and, on the other, it showed contempt for all those who volunteer in many capacities that go beyond the very narrow one that Sandra White sought to define.

Scottish Parliament: Criminal Justice Bill ( 5 Dec 2002)

Hugh Henry: ...—in the overall interests of justice—it is correct, in certain circumstances, that the media should not report certain things at certain times. Such matters are dealt with generally under the Contempt of Court Act 1981, but there are other specific provisions that relate to criminal proceedings in which children are involved, for example. Members will have personal views on the merits...
