THE Scottish Parliament has hit back at comments made by senior Scottish Tory Stephen Kerr in which he blasted the institution as “sterile and uninspiring”.
Parliament officials claimed there were “a number of factual inaccuracies” in Kerr’s opinion piece, published in The Telegraph on Monday.
Kerr, the Scottish Tories’ education spokesperson, took aim at all facets of the Scottish Parliament’s way of doing business, calling the general standard of debate “poor” and saying that most of MSPs' time in Holyrood is taken up with “meaningless debates”.
