Lyn, Thanks very much for posting link and wish everything goes smoothly. Most on the forum will be flies on the wall and I do hope everything works out for the best.

I wouldn't be surprised if wordwide was also looking in.

Great - quite a milestone! I think it starts after 530. I have to go out at 7.30; hope it doesn't go on after that! I'll be watching anyway, and hope some Scottish folk can actually make it in person to the Parliament. Lorraine Cleaver and Elaine Smith have worked so hard to get to this point :-)

Wish I could be there to see the debate in person - thought about it, but couldn't manage the journey and overnight stay. OH and I will be watching online though.

PS I found the petitions committee September debate online and was very impressed by the cross-party concern and genuine wish for positive change. Also, the gender discrimination issue was acknowledged - swept under carpet for far too long.
