McAveety's 'sexist and sleazy' remarks - 'must consider position in parliament'
Tuesday, 15 June 2010

Sandra White MSPCommenting on Frank McAveety's remarks at the Public Petitions Committee today which were caught on camera, regarding a female member of the public attending the hearing, Glasgow SNP MSP Sandra White said: "I am shocked and disgusted at these remarks. The fact that they were uttered by Mr McAveety as the convener of a parliamentary committee which had been considering extremely important and sensitive issues makes it even more sickening.

 

"His stupid comments were at best sexist and sleazy - and at worst sexist, sleazy and racist.

"Mr McAveety does not speak for Scotland's Parliament, and he does not speak for Glasgow.  He must consider his position in Parliament."
