Willie Rennie gets a go at #fmqs this week - he’s going on the age of criminal responsibility, asking if SNP MSPs will vote down the Lib Dem amendment to raise it from 8 to 14. Nicola Sturgeon says there’s a “legitimate debate” here, but govt position atm is that 12 is best age
Willie Rennie says Scotland can’t claim to be a “world leader” on human rights with a lower age of criminal responsibility than China and Russia. Nicola Sturgeon says he’s “completely misrepresenting” how justice system deals with young people overall #FMQs
Nicola Sturgeon says govt will “continue to listen” to views about the best age to set criminal responsibility at, but it’s a “practical as well as a principled” question. Appeals to opposition to “be grown up with how we deal with this” #fmqs
