Tory MSP Murdo Fraser says the navy's largest ever ship HMS Queen Elizabeth left Rosyth for training and he congratulates those who contributed to the aircraft carrier.

The first minister agrees, for once, with Mr Fraser.

SNP MSP Christine Grahame says she is speaking on behalf of a Syrian family, where a family member is trapped in Syria.

Ms Sturgeon says she is very sorry to hear about the plight of this family.

The first minister says she hopes the family will be reunited soon and says she will write to the home secretary.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says she will look into the matter and will happily receive more detail from Pauline McNeill.

Labour MSP Pauline McNeill says students at Glasgow City College are being charged to tuition fees if students drop out early in the course.

Ms McNeill asks if this can be looked in to.

Ms Dugdale says the first minister's numbers are just wrong and says she must commit more funding to school.

She says teacher numbers and classroom assistant numbers are down.

The Scottish Labour leader says £1.23bn has been taken out of schools on the SNP's watch.

Ms Sturgeon defends her figures and says they are from councils.

She says the government will continue to invest and reform education despite Labour councils across the country.

Ms Dugdale says the government outturn figures show spending on education is going down and spending is going down for every single pupil.

The Scottish Labour leader says schools need "cold, hard, cash".

She says the real problem in the education system is that "schools are skint".

Ms Sturgeon says she has data from 27 June that says councils will spend 3% in cash more on education this year than last year.

The Scottish government has set out "sweeping new powers" for schools as part of a shake-up of education.

Education Secretary John Swinney said his reforms were aimed at "freeing our teachers to teach".

The reforms will see head teachers take responsibility for closing the attainment gap, choosing school staff and deciding curriculum content.

They also aim to give schools more direct control over funding, with a consultation on fair funding launched.

There was a mixed response from opposition parties, who welcomed parts of the plan, but others said they did not go far enough.

And local government organisation Cosla said the plan "erodes local democratic accountability".

Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale says getting the education governance vote through with Tory votes should deeply worry the first minister.

Ms Sturgeon says spending on education has gone up.

The first minister says the reforms to education come with additonal funding.

She says the attainment fund will put £750m extra, across this parliament, into schools.

Ruth Davidson says the first minister tired to hide failure and then calls for applause when she tries to fix her own mess.

The Scottish Conservative leader says there is a debate on the findings of the Commission on Parliamentary Reform next.

She says its report says inaccurate or poor answers damage the reputation of Holyrood and she says the Scottish government is guilty on both counts.

Ms Sturgeon disagrees and points to Theresa May at PMQs refusing to answer questions about whether the secretary of state for Scotland lobbyied to get money for Scotland from the DUP deal.

Ms Davidson says on Tuesday of last week Fergus Ewing told the cabinet he would apply for an extension.

She says he wrote the letter on Wednesday but did not reveal that to the chamber.

The Scottish Conservative leader calls on the first minister to apologise to parliament for not answering the question in last week's first minister's questions.

Ms Sturgeon says last week she said the government was discussing contingencies with the EC - that is what seeking an extension is.

She again highlights the loan scheme.

Ms Sturgeon calls on Scottish Tories to apologise for the DUP deal bringing no cash to Scotland.

Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson says there is a principle about the conduct of ministers and the transparency of the government.

Ms Davidson says she asked a simple question last week and she says the first minister refused to tell what she knew to be the truth.

She asks if the first minister's conduct has met the ministerial code.

Ms Sturgeon says: "Yes I do."

The first minister again says the government is working flat out to deliver the payments and there is rapid daily progress.

She says a system of loans were put in place so 80% of farmers got the money they were due.

The Scottish government is set to "fall short" of Friday's deadline for farm subsidy payments, MSPs have been told.

It emerged last week that Scottish ministers want this week's deadline extended for Common Agricultural Policy payments extended to October.

Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing told MSPs that 90% of payments were expected to be completed on time.

He said other payments would follow "fairly shortly thereafter", with talks over potential EU penalties ongoing.

Nicola Sturgeon has apologised for the delays. Speaking to farming leaders last week, the first minister said there was "no complacency" on the part of her government and insisted there was a "100% focus" on getting payments made.

Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson says last week she asked the first minister three time if her government had contacted the European Commission for an extension to the CAP payments deadline.

Ms Davidson says we now know that the first minister was aware of that and she asks why the first minister hid it from the chamber.

Nicola Sturgeon says she told the chamber that the Scottish government continued to discuss contingencies with the European Commission, saying that is what the extension is.

She says the government will continue to make sure the payments are made and farmers get the support they deserve.
