Point of Order

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. You will be aware that I made a point of order at the beginning of this afternoon’s business in relation to correspondence from the office of the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills. In the spirit of fairness, I point out that I am grateful for the direct and immediate intervention of the office of the Minister for Parliamentary Business.

I have now received a reply to the correspondence that I referenced, which was sent, although not received, on 25 January. I thank the office of the Minister for Parliamentary Business as well as the office of the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills for handling my query in a timely way, even though there was a technical problem with receiving it. I have removed any reference to my point of order from my social media accounts.

Thank you, Mr Kerr.
