First Year of the Parliament
Commenting on the first year of the Scottish Parliament, MSP for Greenock & Inverclyde, Duncan McNeil, said:
"There is no doubt that our Parliament offers greater participation in how Scotland is run. Regardless of what we think of the decisions - or indeed the individuals taking those decisions - we know that they are taken in Scotland.
"As the legislation passed by the Parliament comes into force, I hope it proves itself an extremely useful tool in fighting poverty, improving education, ridding our streets of drugs and delivering jobs."
