Now that the work of the short-life working group on buffer zones has concluded, does the First Minister agree that all of our collective focus should be on delivering national legislation as the most robust way to put buffer zones in place in Scotland, and that our collective aim should be to bring forward the final proposal for my member’s bill before summer recess?

I absolutely and fully agree with that and I extend my thanks to the members of the working group for helping us to get to this point. Gillian Mackay is right that the focus should now be on that national approach. I can give an absolute commitment—I know that Gillian Mackay knows this—that we will work closely with her on her member’s bill, which is of incredible importance. It is vital to ensure that women get safe access to health care and I and the Government are fully supportive of those safe access zones.

I know that my officials have been working at pace with Gillian Mackay in relation to the development of the legislation and I am pleased to hear her ambition around its introduction before summer recess. I look forward to engaging with her personally as well as with the cabinet secretary and the ministers who are involved.
