That's all from Holyrood Live on Thursday 7 March 2018, a day girls and women dominated proceedings at the Scottish Parliament.

The Public Petitions Committee heard from Ellie Meek and Millie Robinson, pupils from Parkhead Primary School, West Calder , who called for first aid to be taught in primary schools as part of the curriculum.

The girls had wowed the MSPs with their first aid skills at a demonstration before the committee began.

The afternoon saw the chamber mark International Women's Day , which is tomorrow, with the theme #BalanceforBetter.
