Meeting of the Parliament 13 March 2026 [Draft]
I expect, or at least hope, that every member in the chamber will always seek to reflect the better natures of the people who sent us here and who give us our instructions. It is clear that, although there is widespread good practice in the building, we are still falling short of that aspiration. I hope that the people who have come forward anonymously have found redress and support and, most importantly, have been believed.
There are challenges in the report. It is embarrassing, but it is also a call to action. I sincerely hope that, although the report represents one of the last considerations of this session of Parliament, it will also represent one of the first considerations of the session to come. Scottish Liberal Democrats will certainly play our part in ensuring that we act on the recommendations and uphold the principles of fair and safe work, both for our staff and for the people who seek our help when they come to our offices. We are committed to that endeavour.
