But it demonstrates the importance of all organisations, and particularly the air traffic control system, having resilience, being able to withstand issues in the systems, so that people can rely on the services that are being provided.

It’s very regrettable. There’s been an issue about the air traffic control system today, and that members of the public have experienced disruption as a result.

We now need to turn that principle into an opportunity for people to make their voice heard.

The people of Scotland, if given the choice of independence in a referendum, will take that choice, because all of the information that we see in front of us about the trends in opinion polling indicate that’s the preference of the people…

The people of Scotland are entitled to decide their own future.

Scotland is a nation and its people have the right to decide their future.

“It brings in investors into the country as well. So, the fact that the airport is expanding to such a significant extent provides the opportunities for more routes to come into Scotland, for people from Scotland to access more…

“Edinburgh Airport is a very successful organisation, and the investment of £500 million is a massive boost for the airport and for the Scottish economy.

That the Parliament agrees that Scotland is a nation that has a right to decide its own future

The fundamental right to decide our nation's future remains.

My party believes it is for the people of Scotland to decide when there is an independence referendum.

It would be unlawful not to consider new gas field licences on a case-by-case basis.

That is the full report card on Scottish education and I'm proud of Scottish education.

I accept the outcome of the Pisa assessments but the Pisa assessments are one part of the data set that looks at Scottish education.

I'll tell Malcolm Offord what ruination looks like. It's people like him and Thomas Kerr going round spreading racist filth in our society. That's what ruination looks like.

The people of Scotland will decide their own future.

It is important he and Burnham discuss how we turn that principle into an agreed legal mechanism, as exists in Northern Ireland.

Now that you have agreed the principle that Scotland should have a referendum when it is likely that people would vote for independence, it is important for us to meet to discuss how we turn that principle into an agreed legal mechanism…

You have rightly identified that there must be a discussion about where power lies across these islands.

Your acceptance of the fact that majority support for independence in Scotland also means that a referendum should take place is welcome.

The UK Government's announcement of a trade ban on Israeli settlements is welcome and long overdue.

It has now been confirmed that the fire was started maliciously and the fact that that arose because of the spreading of misinformation that the accommodation was to be used by migrants is a further disgrace.

Anyone who is involved in the inciting of racial tension or stirring up behaviour that leads to the destruction of good accommodation is a disgrace and will be pursued by Police Scotland.

No, it's not. It's the complete opposite, bluntly.

What my objective in all of that is to do is to make sure that we have local authorities and local arrangements that are strategic enough to take big decisions about the issues that need to be wrestled with at regional level within…
