John Swinney: “So I want us to engage urgently – within the first 100 days of this Government – to identify the early steps we can take…”

My commitment to the people of Scotland is clear. You come first. Government works for you and will always be alive to the realities of your day-to-day experience.

It is absolutely vital there is an open, transparent and candid response taken by the police in response to this particular case.

Scotland is ready. The Scottish people are ready. It is time the UK government delivered.

Scotland's future prosperity will be built on the talent of our people, the strength of our universities and colleges, and our ability to turn world-class ideas into jobs, investment and opportunity.
