Mr Speaker
Order. Mr Doogan, we do not need an ongoing shouting match from your sedentary position.
Pamela Nash (Motherwell, Wishaw and Carluke) (Lab)
By ending Tory austerity and increasing the settlement to the Scottish Government by nearly £12 billion, this UK Labour Government have provided adequate funding for the SNP to properly resource Scotland’s rural economy. Does the Minister agree it is time that Scotland’s rural industries were properly recognised and got the support they needed from the Scottish Government?
Kirsty McNeill
I could not agree with my hon. Friend more. Our farms and farmers are vital to this country as providers of food, guardians of our countryside, and significant contributors to the economy. It is time that the SNP Scottish Government recognised that fact.
