John Swinney: “People going around spouting hateful messages will not be tolerated by Police Scotland or this country.”

We will also focus on prevention, drive public sector reform where it is needed, and ensure investment is directed towards frontline services to improve outcomes for people and communities.

It is a fundamental priority for me as First Minister, to make sure the public are at all times safe.

We are working to try to ensure the proposals we bring forward are strong and robust and they can deliver the assistance we want to see in place.

We will require all public services to make a decisive shift to prevention and early intervention.
