Scottish Parliament Portfolio Questions: Angus Robertson on the SCGA
Below is a recording of Angus Robertson’s response to Audrey Nicoll’s Portfolio Question at the 7th of June 2023 sitting of the Scottish Parliament.
The full text of his response is reproduced here below:
Since the launch last year the Scottish Council on Global Affairs has made excellent progress in establishing itself as a crucial, as an impartial Scotland-based research institute, providing a hub for informed, non-partisan debate on a wide range of global issues.
The three founding Universities of Edinburgh, glasgow and St Andrews have made significant progress in harnessing the breadth of expertise that Scotland-based researchers have to offer; I’m glad to see that the Institute benefits from the support not only from the Scottish Government but also from the UK Government and from across the political spectrum.
Through their research programme and suite of regular events they’ve begun to help foster vital public discussion around key global issues of relevance to Scotland and I’m excited to see the plans that they have.
