Disgraceful behaviour in the Scottish Parliament:
(MSP).....I have almost lost track of the amount of my correspondence on crossrail with the minister and Transport Scotland. Getting an answer from Mr Stevenson in writing is no easier than getting one in the chamber. It seems, on occasion, that he has delegated so much of his portfolio to Transport Scotland that all that is left for him to do is give us bad news and occasionally unveil new paint schemes for the trains.
Mike Rumbles: He has delegated everything. He just tells us what the civil servants want.
The Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change (Stewart Stevenson): Bollocks.
Alison McInnes: Pardon?
The Presiding Officer: Members should be careful about the language that they use in the chamber.
Quite right too. Pardon is so non-U!
