we will put the needs of victims and the safety of wider society central to the work that we continue to do over the course of this five-year parliament.
Scotland’s prison population, like many comparable countries, has risen to unsustainable levels and must be addressed.
This is a horrific and deeply shocking case and my thoughts, first and foremost, are with the victims, who have shown enormous courage in coming forward.
I thank police officers and staff for all that they do to keep Scotland safe.
