On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I understand that, earlier this afternoon, Maurice Golden suggested that I had misled the chamber by pointing to the higher electricity transmission charges that are faced in the north of Scotland. With your permission, I seek to put on the record that my comments were based on a statement by the director of business planning at Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, who, in February 2021, said:
“Transmission use of system charges are indeed many, many times higher in the north of Scotland than elsewhere in GB.”
I suggest that, rather than making accusations, Mr Golden might want to take his point up with SSEN, although I have nothing to indicate that SSEN is wrong.
Thank you, Dr Allan. We are probably all clear that the content of members’ contributions is ordinarily a matter for the member. Although your comments are on the record, that is not a point of order.
