Live webchat with Scotland's first minister Alex Salmond, Tues 15 Feb, 1-2pm

Scotland's first minister Alex Salmond is our guest for a live webchat on Tues 15 Feb.

Mr Salmond, who is MSP for Gordon, was first elected as MP for Banff and Buchan in 1987, and went on to become leader of the SNP in 2004 and an MSP in May 2007. He stood down as a Westminster MP in the last General Election to concentrate on his role as first minister.

His minority government has just got its final budget before the Scottish elections through the Scottish parliament, after striking a deal with the Lib Dems to boost student funding.

When he's not working, Mr Salmond enjoys horse racing, football, golf and reading.

We're very pleased to welcome him to Mumsnet. Please come and put your questions or, if you can't join him on Tues lunchtime at 1pm, post your question on this thread, as per usual.

Thanks
MNHQ

Hello all, Alex is here and we're just getting sorted with Brew all round.

Raring to go (and on very tight schedule) so we'll probably start a few minutes early.

Thanks to everyone who has posted questions.

@GentleOtter

The reply to the A9 question was mine, oricella. Confused

Yes, sorry. Mr Salmond was enlisting MNHQ help to get through as many questions (he's done hugely impressive amounts of prep!).

And then we went and posted the wrong answer to the right question (or is that the other way round?)

oricella, the right answer is coming now...

Thanks to Mr Salmond for coming on. Thanks to everyone who took part, too. Going to be posting some more answers shortly that he'd prepared earlier.

That's all, folks. Off for Brew and a few Biscuit and to stock up on Tunnocks wafers.

venusandmars Yes, that was a technical error. Really sorry about that.
