To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland in which years since 1997 the Prime Minister sent greetings to the annual Royal National Mod festival.

(holding answer 17 December 2007)

Art and culture are matters devolved to the Scottish Executive and Scottish Ministers. However, the Prime Minister sent a hand-written note, in Gaelic, to the Royal National Mod last year and the Secretary of State for Scotland wrote in 2006.

What a wonderful question. Who gives a toss, is this not what we elected this useless article for.

Wow, it must take all of two seconds to draft a written question, what a waste of.... two seconds. Who don't you print ALL of MacNeils questions so we actually get an unbiased view of what he has been asking the Government about.
If you think that is an useless question you should look at some of the questions submitted my MP's of ALL parties to see an example of useless questions.

Right on, Mr. Macneil, what a pertinent question, and such exquisite timing! What a pity he is not able to take up the reins of leadership if Big Alex resigns this afternoon, the Western Isles are fortunate indeed to have such effective representation.

Any more examples of searching, mind borgling questions asked by the "Knumbskull" as requested by Anon 1.53?
I recall some really relevant ones from the self styled "Scourge of Sleeze" in his first few months,and I think your readers would love to be reminded .......

You might want to try a spellcheck before trying to be a wise-guy.

Is Mr Macneil going to attend the Island Games again? With a view to not just pulling pints, but also pulling minister's daughters, heavy petting of said females (I thought it was just heavy events at Highland Games, but perhaps heavy petting is part of that) and getting the Games to Barra, he being the MP of only that island in the Western Isles.
