Alyn Smith: “I don’t think the Electoral Commission is fit for purpose.”

Strong global relationships, including our academic and research links with China, make an important contribution to Scotland’s education, skills and research sector.

I am pleased to confirm we will partner with the UK Government to develop plans for DTECs in Scotland and build on the £3.7 billion to Scotland’s economy provided by the defence sector.

I think there are sufficient grounds for concern that there was dirty money in the EU referendum.

Protecting those relationships means ensuring that international engagement is underpinned by appropriate due diligence, robust risk management and access to the latest security advice.
