are the conservatives in scotland really saying that the scottish parliament, the scottish governmentvernment? we've already spent £400 million of the scottish government mitigating the worst effects of tory austerity. i think the government can find this money. it's no good blaming the scottish parliament. it is a uk issue, full stop. and i can assure the honourable gentleman that i will be backing him. we made a manifesto pledge regarding this issue. the reason why i am here as a spokesman of the party today is because we do support it, we will go through the lobby on it and i do think that the waspi women will be better served if we had a debate that was not divisive or about point—scoring. it's not a party. whether it is the liberal, labour or conservative parties which has not cause this problem. but the minister said, the government wasn't changing track. we cannot change of policy which has been implemented over 22 years, and supported by all three major political parties. the government has to ensure that the costs of an ageing population are shared out fairly without placing

the scottish conservatives have already responded. they said that they have called for a strong and positive reaction from the scottish government. the scottish liberal democrats have said that there needs to be a statement to parliament to set out how the leadership of police scotland will be secured while the months of investigations take place in the senior officers. those investigations by the police investigations by the police investigation and review commissioner continues. now, the weather. after a pretty chilly weekend, there is something changing already, in the north—western corner of the british isles. really quite wet for a time, 30 or a0 millimetres of rain across the western hills and is a pretty gusty winds, we could see 50 mile an hour gusts. the rain will not clear from the south and that is where we will see the mildest error trap for awhile on monday. monday not a particularly cold day, even though i am showing you the possibility of snow in the higher ground, particularly in the northern half of the british isles.
