Part of the debate – in the Scottish Parliament at on 30 September 2020.
The Presiding Officer:
That is not an apology. Do you want to rephrase what you said, please?
I do not think that it was fitting of Mr Mundell, nor does it reflect his character. I am sure that he is perfectly capable of finding language that will express his view about the accuracy of comments without personalising his remarks or using pejorative terms that are disrespectful to other members.
