Part of the debate – in the Scottish Parliament at 2:15 pm on 7 June 2007.
Before we proceed to themed question time, I advise members that I have received a request from the First Minister to make an urgent statement later today. As I am satisfied that the matter is sufficiently urgent, I have agreed under rule 13.2.2 to allow the statement to be made at approximately 4.45 pm. That will allow time for a short statement from the First Minister and contributions and questions from the four main parties.
