The Scottish Parliament's Public Petitions Committee today refused to hear seven petitions which had been submitted by the New Party. In a two minute manoeuvre, which had clearly been pre-planned, they broke with normal procedure and put the seven petitions, submitted over a three week period, into a single group. Several members of the committee then supported a motion by the committee chairman Michael McMahon MSP that the petitions be closed down without either looking at the issues raised or the background information which had been supplied.
The Scottish Parliament's Public Petitions Committee will hear seven petitions from the New Party in a single session tomorrow Wednesday 25 May. (hearing commences 10.00hrs)

The Queen’s Speech will tomorrow set the tone for the forthcoming parliamentary session. However in keeping with the best New Labour traditions the content of the speech will hold few surprises.

We will then be dictated to on how to run our lives by the introduction of new social legislation and the birth of the “Commission for Equality and Human Rights.” After we have been suitably chastened we will then be subjected to a raft of “holier than thou” bills such as corporate manslaughter which ignores the fact that it is the public sector which kills the most people (e.g., NHS, armed forces, sub-standard roads etc).
