I am doing my job, and I am asking the First Min...

Meeting of the Parliament 17 May 2012 : Thursday, May 17, 2012

Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Ruth Davidson The First Minister says that the police have primacy because their investigations are continuing, but the Culture, Media and Sport Committee at Westminster managed to hold an inquiry.

When it comes to the First Minister’s conduct, we in Scotland need to look deeper than Leveson allows. Th...

Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Ruth Davidson An inquiry in England—[Interruption.]



Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Ruth Davidson Let us talk of inquiries, then. [Interruption.] The First Minister wants to speak at the Leveson inquiry. We have a First Minister who is willing to speak at an English inquiry but not to hold one in Scotland. [Interruption.]
