Meeting of the Parliament 10 May 2012 : Thursday, May 10, 2012
Ruth Davidson If joint citizenship applications are old news—old news that was put out by the Government only this morning—why were they not identified in the consultation on the 2011 order? Confusion has been compounded by complacency.

It is not just the Conservatives who are asking these questions. R...

Meeting of the Parliament 10 May 2012 : Thursday, May 10, 2012
Ruth Davidson The First Minister says that he wants to engage in a substantive issue so let us do so. When ministers allowed universities to charge students from the rest of the United Kingdom, they said that the whole system would be based on where someone lives. Anyone who lives in England, Wales or Northern Ir...

2. To ask the First Minister when he will next meet the Secretary of State for Scotland. (S4F-00655)



Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Ruth Davidson Surely, when there are questions as to whether a First Minister of Scotland may have acted in contravention of Scots law, a parliamentary inquiry is the minimum to which we are entitled.



Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Ruth Davidson The First Minister says that the police have primacy because their investigations are continuing, but the Culture, Media and Sport Committee at Westminster managed to hold an inquiry.

Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Ruth Davidson An inquiry in England—[Interruption.]



Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Ruth Davidson Let us talk of inquiries, then. [Interruption.] The First Minister wants to speak at the Leveson inquiry. We have a First Minister who is willing to speak at an English inquiry but not to hold one in Scotland. [Interruption.]



Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Ruth Davidson Let us simplify this a little. We know that the former First Minister Jack McConnell and his children were hacked. We know that the current First Minister’s close parliamentary aide was hacked. Parliament and the people of Scotland deserve to be told whether the First Minister was hacked.


Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Ruth Davidson (Glasgow) (Con)

2. To ask the First Minister when he will next meet the Prime Minister. (S4F-00637)



Meeting of the Parliament 26 April 2012 : Thursday, April 26, 2012
Ruth Davidson If the First Minister had nothing to hide from a 12-man dinner, why not tell the committee about it just three months later?
