I was honoured to be able to participate in a debate in the Scottish Parliament marking International Women’s Day – alongside so many strong female MSPs across the political divide. Whilst we are in the fortunate position to be elected politicians, many women across Scotland and the UK are still subject to poorer working conditions than their male counterparts.

Today at Parliament, I was able to further highlight the proposed closure of the 2 Sisters factory in Cambuslang. This is the second occasion that I have raised the issue in Holyrood, and the second occasion that I have been reassured by the Scottish Government’s response.

At First Minister's Questions last week (29th February), I asked about the actions the Scottish Government is taking to retain EU national nurses post-Brexit.

On the 28th February, the Lord Advocate appeared to the chamber of the Scottish Parliament to answer questions on the Scottish Government's EU Continuity Bill - which will protect Scotland's laws during the Brexit process.

On the 22nd February, Clare sought assurances from the Scottish Government to leave no stone unturned in finding a positive resolution for the 2 Sisters plant in Cambuslang.
