Commenting 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."
