Scottish Parliament: Scottish Products (United States Tariffs) (14 Nov 2019)

Bruce Crawford: ...nature of the sitting President were he to change his tune at an opportune moment and drive forward damaging clauses, tariffs and restrictions to a US-UK trade deal the moment the UK leaves the EU. God forbid that it ever happens. I actually loudly applauded the speech by Mike Rumbles. That has not happened often in this chamber, but he did a grand job today, so I wish that he were here to...

The Executive-commissioned Mott MacDonald report, which has been widely mentioned, concludes that Scotland would...

Scottish Parliament: Water Industry (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1 ( 6 Dec 2001)

Bruce Crawford: ...the Parliament's agreement to any ministerial directions to Scottish Water. The bill will give the Executive a blank cheque to decide the fate of the Scottish water industry.
