King Charles calls for Scottish Parliament to debate with ‘respect’ at opening of session

King Charles also encouraged debate to be “carried out with respect and courtesy” as he gave a speech to mark the beginning of Holyrood’s seventh session since it was established in 1999. The King added: “In a global situation of rapid and seemingly accelerating challenge, there will, inevitably, be some aims which can be attained, and others, even with the best efforts, which will remain ambitions only. “But while the outcome might not always be yours to deliver, the manner in which it is pursued lies always within your power. “With that in mind, and in the knowledge that you are custodians of the democratic traditions long nurtured in these islands – traditions of which the honours of Scotland set before us are a powerful reminder – let us continue to show by example that debate can be carried out with respect and courtesy, that disagreement is possible while honouring one another’s dignity, and it is recognised – whatever views may exist as to the means – that all those engaged in public service are seeking the same end – the good of the society we serve.” Daily Record Homepage: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ Daily Record Facebook: https://facebook.com/TheScottishDailyRecord Daily Record Instagram: https://instagram.com/scottishdailyrecord Daily Record Sport Instagram: https://instagram.com/dailyrecord_sport Daily Record TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scottishdailyrecord Daily Record Sport TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dailyrecord_sport Daily Record Twitter: https://twitter.com/Daily_Record Daily Record Newsletters: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/newsletter-preference-centre/ Join our WhatsApp communities here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages: DAILY RECORD: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/join-daily-records-whatsapp-community-31116469 RECORD SPORT RANGERS: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/join-record-sports-new-rangers-31111892 RECORD SPORT CELTIC: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/join-record-sports-new-celtic-31111589 You can get all the latest news, sport, showbiz and comment at DailyRecord.co.uk LIKE | COMMENT | SUBSCRIBE | SHARE #DailyRecord #kingcharles #royalfamily #scotland
