This week was an extremely busy week in both the Scottish Parliament and my constituency.
On Monday I met with the Digital Connectivity Team at the Scottish Government to discuss the roll-out of the R100 scheme in Falkirk East, the Scottish 4G Infill programme and 5G deployment. I currently have active enquiries regarding these issues. I will continue to liaise with the team and other stakeholders.
I also met with Ross Gunning, CEO of Glasgow Philharmonia earlier this week in my capacity of Convenor of the CPG on Music. I recently tabled a motion congratulating two of my young constituents taking part in one of their productions.

The Finance and Public Administration Committee met twice this week. On Tuesday, the Committee continued to scrutinised the Scottish Budget 2024-2025. On Thursday, the Committee held a special meeting to take evidence from Michael Gove MP, Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities at the UK Government on the replacement of EU structural funds in Scotland.
