    First up this morning is the Economy Committee.

    In an unusual move, MSPs are likely to move into private session at the beginning of the meeting.

    Then at 11am we are expecting Economy Secretary Keith Brown and Brexit Minister Mike Russell to give evidence on the economic impact of Brexit on Scotland.

  6. Good morning and welcome to Holyrood Livepublished at 16:04 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2016

    Good morning and welcome to Holyrood Live's coverage of the Scottish Parliament on 29 November 2016.

    We’ve opted for the Economy Committee which will take evidence from Economy Secretary Keith Brown and Brexit Minister Mike Russell on the economic impact of leaving the EU.

    There are two questions today in topical questions, one on child abuse in football and the other on the SCSC claim that Scotland faces a 'lost generation' of children if additional support needs funding is cut.

    The Scottish government will lead another debate on the impact of the Brexit vote, this time looking at culture, the creative industries and tourism.

    Then it’s happy St Andrew’s Day as the government debates it for half an hour, a day early!

    SNP MSP Rona Mackay will then lead a debate calling for equality in blood donation, in particular regarding men who have sex with men (at the moment they face a 12-month temporary deferral).
