Part of First Minister's Question Time – in the Scottish Parliament at 12:00 pm on 13 September 2007.
As Margaret Curran knows, the Scottish Law Commission report is awaited on our legislative programme and on the amendments that we are going to make to the legislation relating to rape and sexual offences. I share entirely the concerns that she has noted, and I hope that the legislation—which is envisaged for this parliamentary session—will go a substantial way towards addressing those very real concerns, which affect women across Scotland.
