00:00 I will reiterate, I made a judgment call that didn't end up in the position where I expected it to.
00:07 I regret it, I apologise to the SNP.
00:11 Just bear with me for a moment.
00:14 I apologise and I apologise to the House.
00:17 I made a mistake, we do make mistakes, I am not to mind.
00:23 I...
00:24 Oh, have some grace, have some grace.
00:29 The fourth.
00:30 I have a duty of care that I will carry out to protect people.
00:36 It is the protection that led me to make a wrong decision.
00:41 But what I do not apologise is the risk that's being put on all members at the moment.
00:50 I had serious meetings yesterday with the police on the issues and threats to politicians,
00:57 threats heading to an election.
01:00 And I do not want anything to happen again.
01:03 So yes, I will apologise, I always will when I make a mistake.
01:09 I did, I offer an SL24, that is within my gift and power.
01:14 But I will also say I will do whatever it is to protect anybody in this chamber
01:20 or anybody who works in this House.
01:23 That is my duty of care.
