Part of the debate – in the Scottish Parliament at 2:34 pm on 6 June 2007.
I thank the member for the notice of his point of order, and am pleased that he accepts my right not to select the question that he lodged earlier today.
As the member is no doubt aware, it has been the practice of my predecessors not to get into discussions on the reasons for the selection or non-selection of questions, and I do not intend to alter that practice in any way. As for receiving answers to his questions, he might like to take the opportunity that is presented by tomorrow's debate to seek responses from the Executive.
