I welcome the publication of the long-overdue Defence Investment Plan, although I am disappointed that it falls short of the ambition that was previously promised and we are still to receive full details of the budget reductions for Scotland that will be required to pay for this.

So Scotland’s a welcoming country. We want to make sure that when people come to Scotland, we can support them and that we can support them well.
I can announce today that we will fund the community groups, the people who are the very best of us, who are doing the hard yards to build bridges and break down barriers.
I’m all for the Scottish Parliament having as many powers as it possibly can do, and I’ll work constructively to make sure we bring all those powers to Scotland.
