FMQs: Follow along live 07/09/2023

Key Events

  • Humza Yousaf faces his first FMQs back after the summer recess
  • This comes only days after he revealed his programme for government, which focused on tackling poverty
  • We’re expecting calls for a public inquiry into Professor Eljamel to be raised - although a ministerial statement on this is due later this afternoon

That’s the first FMQs back after the summer recess officially over.

We had the breaking news that there will be a public inquiry into disgraced neurosurgeon Professor Eljamel, which seems to have gone down well in the chamber.

Beyond that though, a fairly calm FMQs - none of the shouting matches, heckling or protestors disrupting proceedings which we have seen in recent months.
