Pauline McNeill: The west of Scotland is our country ’s industrial heartland, with a heavy concentration in the Glasgow city region, which has 57 per cent of the worst 15 per cent of areas on the Scottish index of multiple deprivation, yet an excellent freeport bid—the Clyde green freeport bid—was not supported by the Government, even though it fully met the criteria in tackling deprivation and boosting...

Pauline McNeill: Does the cabinet secretary accept that ordinary women and members of the public are outraged by the imprisonment of a rapist, who was convicted of two counts of rape, which is one of the most serious charges in the Scottish criminal legal system—

Pauline McNeill: I sincerely thank Maggie Chapman for her superb speech. I was delighted to host a presentation about the report with her late last year. According to Action on Asbestos, firefighters are two and a half times more likely than other people are to develop mesothelioma, a type of lung cancer. It is an invariably fatal cancer that results from exposure to asbestos fibres. It causes horrific...

Liam Kerr: I echo the member’s point that the bill needs to be as good as it can be. However, yesterday, Jackie Baillie, Pauline McNeill, Carol Mochan and Daniel Johnson articulated some very clear concerns about the shortcomings with the drafting of the legislation, which were not addressed during the amending stage. Can the member help me understand why she will vote for a bill that her colleagues...

Jamie Greene: ...number of ways. Amendment 108 addresses an issue that was raised when I introduced the concept at stage 2. I was happy to participate constructively in that stage of proceedings. During that stage, Pauline McNeill raised the very valid issue of what the definition of a fraudulently obtained certificate might be and what that might look like. She set me quite a challenge—it has been very...

Pauline McNeill: On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I wish to raise a point relating to the groupings of amendments. Please advise whether I should do that now or after this debate. I want to ensure that you know I will raise that point.

Pauline McNeill: I want to make a short contribution to the debate and to seek clarity from the ministers on a number of points. I start by saying that there is considerable public concern about lowering the age to 16, and that it is, therefore, right that it should be the subject of deep scrutiny. I thank all colleagues for their contributions in that regard. We already protect young people who have not...
