Kate Forbes: Negotiations on pay settlements are a matter for our public sector bodies, as the employers, and the relevant staff representatives or trade unions. It is right for employers and trade unions to follow the recognised collective bargaining procedures.
Kate Forbes: The latest Office of Communications figures show that more than 2.6 million homes and businesses across Scotland can now access superfast broadband speeds. Indeed, the three strands of activity that make up the reaching 100 per cent programme, which are the R100 contracts—which are worth £600 million—the voucher scheme and commercial build, are helping to deliver that full-fibre...

Kate Forbes: The Scottish Government’s capital budget for this financial year provides more than £6.4 billion of capital investment. All future final spending commitments will, of course, be outlined during the annual budget process in the usual way.
Kate Forbes: The resource spending review outlines how we will focus public spending in the coming years, including by delivering our investment in education and skills. That is where the funding comes from for early learning and childcare, play opportunities and education. We will continue to deliver the measures that we have set out, and that will be updated in next year’s budget.
Kate Forbes: As the member should know, although his question suggests that he might not, the Scottish Government has no role in setting the level of Audit Scotland’s funding from the Scottish budget; its funding is agreed directly with the Parliament. Audit Scotland’s funding for next year and for future years will be set in the normal way, through the annual budgeting process.
Kate Forbes: I assume that the member is referring to the report that also states that the bank “is exactly the kind of big, ambitious policy experiment that Holyrood should be embarking on”. To date, within the first 18 months of its establishment, the bank has delivered investment commitments of more than £200 million to 16 projects across all three of its missions.
Kate Forbes: We continue to deliver reform across the justice system, responding to the needs of individuals and making more than £50 million available annually for recovery and reform. In the current financial year, we have increased the resource budget for both the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service and the Crown Office. However, as the member will know, we can allocate only the funding that current...
Craig Hoy: Does Emma Roddick welcome the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s intervention to supports Scots through the cost of living crisis? When Kate Forbes asked for £1,000 for the most vulnerable households in Scotland, the chancellor brought forward £1,650 for those households. Will Emma Roddick join me in thanking the chancellor and the UK Government for the full support that they have provided to...

Kate Forbes: On a point of order, Presiding Officer. My vote might have been registered, but I am not entirely sure. I would have voted yes.
Liam McArthur: ...) (Scotland) Bill relates to a protected subject matter and therefore that the bill does not require a supermajority to be passed at stage 3. Before I invite Tom Arthur to open the debate, I call Kate Forbes to signify Crown consent to the bill.
