The scenes we saw in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr last night are unacceptable.

I confirm the government’s commitment to ensuring that we continue to develop and enhance the services and support that are available to women.

I think it’s inappropriate for there to be an inquiry into these matters, because they affect the internal governance of the SNP, which I have sorted out.

The idea of political rivals scrutinising the internal business of other political parties is, well, let me just say an interesting precedent to set, that people should think twice about.

What I can assure Mr Middleton about is that the Scottish Government will do everything we can to ensure that the Northeast economy is supported with the investment that is made.

That has been undertaken, and we will do all that we can to help out to resolve these issues.

Unfortunately, in such cases, detailed explanations are not always provided to applicants.

I appreciate how frustrating the situation is for any Scotland supporter who has had their Esta revoked.

...we will continue to press the UK Government to remove the EPL at the earliest possible opportunity.

I've made it very clear to the Prime Minister the importance I attach to the removal of the energy profits levy, which is sucking the economic life out of one of Scotland's most important industries.

I therefore do not support the establishment of a parliamentary inquiry, because we have had an investigation and it convicted somebody for embezzling from my party’s funds.

I am absolutely confident that we have the highest standards of financial governance in place with all appropriate checks and balances in place.

Our party was betrayed by Peter Murrell and, while this may take some time, if we are successful we will use that money for the purpose in which it was donated – securing Scotland’s rightful place as an independent country.

We agreed unanimously to act to secure the party’s interests by instructing our solicitors to begin action in court to recover the money that has been stolen from us.

I understand the urgency of resolving this issue at the earliest possible opportunity so people can get their lives back on track, and I welcome the opportunity to hear about the work being done to support them.

This is a very distressing situation for the residents of Coalsnaughton who have had to leave their homes with no clear indication of when they might be able to return.

if we are successful we will use that money for the purpose in which it was donated – securing Scotland’s rightful place as an independent country.

The NEC were unanimous in their position that we should seek to recover the funds stolen from us by Peter Murrell.

We are committed to reforming the legal aid system through legislation to be introduced this parliamentary year to ensure it works more effectively.

It’s not about having too much power. It’s about abusing the systems that were in place.

I feel absolutely gutted at the behaviour that has been perpetrated against decent hardworking members of the party who just simply wanted to do their best for the cause, and they have been betrayed.

I want to express my dismay at the further information that has been shared with the court this morning.

It’s part of the ongoing activities of the Scottish National Party and we are the party that campaigns for independence.

What’s important is the SNP resources are used for the purposes they are intended.

I’m saying, it’s part of the ongoing activities of the Scottish National Party.
