Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP

Responding to the Scottish Government's proposed scrapping of First Minister's Questions on 30th March, meaning that a new First Minister would not have faced parliamentary scrutiny until 20th April, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said:

"That Nicola Sturgeon did not think her would-be successors would be ready for parliamentary scrutiny in week one is hardly a vote of confidence in their abilities.

"Pressing questions about dentistry, the health service and the climate emergency have been neglected while the SNP's shambolic leadership contest rattles on. The least the new First Minister can do is be prepared to answer some questions about their party's record of failure."
