However, and there has to be a however (I'm afraid), I think these two ScotParl questions, particularly the latter, but the former also to some extent, are certainly of no less decent quality than almost anything else that gets discussed at Holyrood. I agree that these two questions are probably a waste of space, but no more so than the Scottish Parliament itself; after all when I criticised recently the fact that the present minority Scottish Executive (<I>aka 'Government'</I>) has announced that it will in future issue policy statements on all matters that are asked of it, whether they are within its remit under the Scotland Act or not, I was dismissed as 'one of those kinds of Unionists'. I would respectfully submit that such proposed use of time is at least as wasteful as these two particular parliamentary questions and many more besides, which have found their way into your illustrious little blog ;)Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393265755614039206noreply@blogger.com
