Elizabeth Smith: ...seemed to imply, that is about spending more money in Scotland. Scotland desperately needs the investment. That view is shared by local government and by many local community stakeholders; indeed, Kate Forbes said it just six weeks ago. Those stakeholders tell us that that gives them better ownership of what they want to achieve in their local areas and that the bidding process that has...
Finlay Carson: ...families slip further into poverty. We know that Scotland’s block grant has been increased by more than 10 per cent, which is the largest rise in the history of devolution. The finance secretary, Kate Forbes, has already announced a £150 council tax rebate, which is similar to the one announced by the UK Government, but that is just a drop in the ocean compared with what is needed. The...
Neil Bibby: ...it was done, with painted-on windows. Fiona Hyslop, Michael Matheson, Humza Yousaf and Graeme Dey have all come and gone. Jenny Gilruth is now the Minister for Transport and, today, Ivan McKee and Kate Forbes are speaking for the Government. It is the Scottish Government that is ultimately responsible for the procurement of the vessels, and it is the First Minister who is ultimately...

Kate Forbes: It is entirely wrong to suggest that the contract award was rushed for political reasons. First, the timetable does not support that notion, given that Ferguson Marine Engineering Ltd was publicly announced as the preferred bidder in August 2015. Secondly, the contract was awarded in line with all the procurement rules and practices in the normal way, as the Audit Scotland report confirms....
Neil Bibby: ...Audit Scotland report makes clear, there is a lot of blame to go round. Last week, the First Minister tried to blame Derek Mackay for the enormous risk to which the taxpayer was exposed, and today Kate Forbes tried to pin all the blame elsewhere. It is clear that only a public inquiry will get to the bottom of all this. However, right now, the Scottish Government is ultimately responsible...
Douglas Ross: ...him when this tragic accident occurred. [ Applause .] Yesterday, Audit Scotland’s damning report on the Scottish National Party Government’s failure to build two lifeline ferries was published. Kate Forbes was put forward to respond in the chamber and to the media, but she could not say who made the key decision to sign off the disastrous contract. Therefore, can the First Minister...
Liam McArthur: The next item of business is consideration of motion S6M-02793, in the name of Kate Forbes, on a financial resolution for the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Bill. I call George Adam to move the motion.

Alison Johnstone: The next item of business is a statement by Kate Forbes on Ferguson Marine updates. The cabinet secretary will take questions at the end of her statement, so there should be no interventions or interruptions.
Neil Bibby: ...Fiona Hyslop fell out with the union. Michael Matheson, Humza Yousaf and Graeme Dey have all come and gone—unlike the boats—and last week Ivan McKee was answering questions on the issue. Today, Kate Forbes gave the statement and Jenny Gilruth has spoken in this debate. The previous owner is away and the turnaround director is away. The one constant throughout has been the First...
