Political Parties: James Mitchell 11. Public Policies: Barry Winetrobe ISBN: 1 903903 09 2 Introduction James Mitchell The policy agenda for the last quarter in Scotland was distinct from that south of the border while there was some overlap. Matters such as identity cards and foundation hospitals are figuring prominently north of the border though long-running issues concerned with health and law and order were important. In health, differences exist at policy level but also in terms of rhetoric – with the Health Minister refusing to refer to patients as ‘customers’. This suggests divergence without major disputes in devolutionary politics. An issue which has caused problems across Britain and was of significance this quarter was the provision of accommodation for asylum seekers as well as the education of the children of asylum seekers. Though asylum is a retained matter, the issue has devolutionary dimension as education is a devolved matter. The other significant event was the challenge to John Swinney’s leadership of the Scottish National Party. A relatively unknown party activist challenged Swinney resulting in a drawn-out campaign over the Summer which culminated in a massive victory for Swinney at the SNP’s annual conference.

USE OF THE TRANSCRIPT This is a corrected transcript of evidence taken in public and webcast on www.parliamentlive.tv. 1 Examination of witness Angus Robertson. Q69 The Chair: This is the Constitution Committee of the House of Lords. We are conducting an inquiry into the future governance of the United Kingdom, and our witness this afternoon is the right honourable Angus Robertson, who is Cabinet Secretary for the Constitution, External Affairs and Culture in the Scottish Government. Good afternoon to you, Angus Robertson. Angus Robertson: Good afternoon. Thanks for inviting me. The Chair: You are very welcome. Can we start our discussion with a general question? What is the current state of the union from your point of view, from your Government’s point of view? Given all that is being said at the moment, this is a very topical question and very fundamental to the work that we are doing. Angus Robertson: Of course. In a nutshell, I would probably say that the current state of the union is unfit for purpose.

  • Rt Hon. Alex Salmond MSP First Minister of Scotland “Scotland's Place in Europe” College of Europe Brugge 28 April 2014
    CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY – EMBARGOED UNTIL 1330 CEST / 1230 BST Rt Hon. Alex Salmond MSP First Minister of Scotland “Scotland’s Place in Europe” College of Europe Brugge 28 April 2014 1 CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY – EMBARGOED UNTIL 1330 CEST / 1230 BST It’s a great pleasure to speak here today - to this audience in Brugge, and to those of you watching from the College’s campus in Natolin in Poland. The College of Europe was the first university to offer postgraduate studies and training in European affairs. It continues to be one of the best places anywhere in the world to study the subject – which is why the Scottish Government funds three scholarships every year for outstanding students from Scotland. Brugge is a city which has had close links with Scotland for centuries. As one of the great commercial centres of Europe in the Middle Ages, Brugge was at times the staple or entry port for wool being exported from Scotland to the rest of Europe. A community of Scottish merchants settled here more than 700 years ago. It’s just one indication of the way in which Scotland’s prosperity over centuries has been bound up with the ability to trade, travel and work in Europe. And just as Scots have always worked and lived in Europe, so there are now 160,000 people from other EU states who have chosen to live and work in Scotland. They make a massive contribution to Scotland’s economy and culture. These European connections are an essential part of who we are. Scotland has always been a nation that looks outwards – to Wales, England, Ireland and Northern Ireland; to the other nations of Europe; and right across the globe.

  • Minister for Children and Young People
    Ministear airson Oigridh agus Clann Minister for Children and Young People Angela Constance BPA/MSP ~ The Scottish FIT: 0845 7741741 Government E: [email protected] Riaghaltas na h-Alba Stewart Maxwell MSP Convener Education and Culture Committee ~ The Scottish Parliament ~DELIVERING Edinburgh A GAMES LEGACY FOR SCOllAND EH991SP Ur faidhle/Your ref: I December 2011 Thank you for providing me with an opportunity to give evidence to the Education and Culture Committee on 22 November as part of the Committee's inquiry into educational attainment of looked after children. I would like to reiterate to the Committee that the Scottish Government's ambition for our looked after children is no different to what we aim for all children of Scotland - we want them to be all that they can be. We recognise that looked after children face additional barriers when accessing education and therefore require additional support from all those who are involved in their care. This Government places a particular focus on the early years, as individual capacity to learn is significantly shaped by the first 2-3 years when the brain is still developing. We recognise, however, that it will take many years for our interventions to be reflected in better outcomes for looked after children. Providing a safe, stable, nurturing and permanent home is key to improving life chances and educational attainment of looked after children. I believe that local partners - councils especially - need to focus on delivering a one- placement system - so where possible children experience only one placement while in care, reducing disruption to their lives.
