I agree with my colleagues that this ban is totally divisive, unacceptable and inhumane. It will only succeed in stirring up hate and fear of Muslims and exacerbate an already dangerous situation in the world. Stigmatising people because of their nationality cannot be defended, and I note that several federal judges have halted the deportation of visa holders, believing the ban to be unconstitutional.

Will the First Minister confirm the ban only applies to individuals travelling to the United States from one of the seven named countries? The ban does not apply to UK nationals travelling from one of those countries to the US, even if he or she was born in one of those countries. On the question of dual nationality, can the First Minister also confirm that someone holding dual nationality with one of the listed countries travelling to the US from outside those countries is also not covered by this order? However, a UK citizen holding dual nationality with one of the listed states travelling to the United States from a listed country may face extra checks.

And, First Minister, another area that Muslim countries, alongside the rest of the world, are also very concerned—and tit for tat can create an unprecedented problem for the whole world. Does the First Minister agree with me that all UK citizens, whether they hold dual nationality or not, deserve the right to be admitted to the United States in a fast and efficient and civilised manner, because that country is a beacon of human rights, as we all understand? Thank you.
