  • Bute House the Offi Cial Residence of the First Minister of Scotland
    Bute House The offi cial residence of the First Minister of Scotland Bute House 20pp brochure 02.indd 1 17/07/2017 08:53 Welcome to Bute House ince I became First Minister, I have welcomed thousands of people to Bute House. As the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland, it is here that I host official guests from this country and overseas on behalf of the nation. Bute House is also the meeting place of the Scottish Cabinet and the venue for official functions including meetings, receptions, lunches and dinners. Within these walls, I get to bring together people from all walks of life through meetings with business leaders, public service employees and the voluntary sector, and receptions to celebrate all aspects of Scottish society and success. Every Christmas, I even get to welcome youngsters from around the country for an annual children’s party. All year round Bute House performs a dual role of both residence and place of work for the First Minister. All four of my predecessors lived here too, and their portraits line the wall of the staircase leading to the Cabinet Room. Before the Scottish Parliament was reconvened in 1999, Bute House was home to eight different Secretaries of State for Scotland from 1970 onwards. Many of the key conversations and decisions in recent Scottish political history have taken place within these walls. Even without its modern role, however, Bute House would be of significant historic interest. It was built in the late 18th century, and is at the heart of one of the great masterpieces of Georgian architecture – the north side of Robert Adam’s Charlotte Square.

  • RESPONSE from MR ANDREW Mccabe
    RESPONSE FROM MR ANDREW McCABE My interest in the SPPA Committee’s review of Section 8 of the Code of Conduct for MSPs, and the reason for my submitting written evidence to the inquiry is due to my experiences in dealing with the Scottish Parliament over the past 13 months and the lack of proper complaints procedures. On the 15th November 2006 during a meeting of the Public Petitions Committee, Mr Campbell Martin the then Independent MSP for the West of Scotland and member of the PPC gave oral evidence to the PPC in support of Petition PE994. http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/committees/petitions/or-06/pu06- 1802.htm#Col2887 During Mr Martin’s 7-minute speech to the Committee he submitted factually inaccurate information and made several factually inaccurate statements to the Committee concerning my deceased father and myself. In particular, Mr Martin stated to the Committee that my late father and myself were “estranged” and that my father had left “express instructions” in his will stating that he had “specifically excluded” me. I was not estranged from my father and my father did not leave “express instructions” in his will “specifically” excluding me. Mr Martin then stated that my father’s wishes “were completely ignored” by the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964, Mr Martin made several references to my father’s wishes and repeatedly stated that the law had “completely ignored” my father’s wishes. Campbell Martin did not know my father, he had never met my father and he had never spoken with my father, therefore Mr Martin was not qualified to state what my father’s wishes were, especially in public in the Scottish Parliament.
