That ends this week's FMQs which focused on the impact of the fire on Glasgow's Union Corner.

Here are the headlines that emerged from the chamber this afternoon:

• Party leaders marked the 30th anniversary of the Dunblane massacre which takes place tomorrow and praised the community's success in banning hand guns
• Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay expressed concern for businesses hit by the Glasgow fire and repeated his offer to have a pint with the FM to discuss "Scotland's pub crisis"
• Swinney said active discussions with Glasgow City Council about affected businesses were under way, but he declined to have a drink with Findlay and a pub owner this lunchtime
• The "horror" of the Union Street fire was also raised by Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, who pointed out the SNP has cut the number of SRFS high reach appliances from 26 to 16
• The FM insisted the response on Sunday was adequate and he highlighted a reduction in dwelling fires by 20% since 2013
• Mums across Scotland are being let down by maternity services, claimed Scottish Lib Dem leader Alex Cole-Hamilton
• Swinney insisted Scotland's mums deserved the safe delivery of maternity care as close to home as possible

That draws to a close our live coverage of the Scottish Parliament. You can watch the third day of consideration of Stage 3 amendments to the assisted dying bill with us this afternoon.

Concerns about the Baird Family Hospital and the Anchor Centre are raised by Alexander Burnett, the Scottish Conservative MSP for Aberdeenshire West.

He says a whistle-blower report has highlighted "major flaws in the infection control and water systems", echoing the "tragic" situation at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.

He asks for assurances that the buildings will open with no further delay and with patient safety not negatively impacted.

Swinney says the opening of the buildings have been delayed because of the level of scrutiny.

He says government officials spoke to NHS Grampian this morning, and there is agreement that the buildings would not be opened until the highest level of water safety is met.

The first minister says he can't give assurances about delays because they have to make sure hospitals are safe to open.

Labour MSP Pauline McNeill asks the first minister about a recent £66,000 fine for Police Scotland after it shared the contents of an officer's phone, including health records and intimate pictures, with a colleague she alleged raped her.

McNeill calls it an "absolute scandal" and asks whether it should be necessary for the full contents to be downloaded from anyone's phone or device, and whether there should be "proper oversight" to prevent this happening again.

Swinney says he agrees completely, and that protection data is even more important in cases of this sensitivity.

The fine from the Information Commissioner is a mark of the seriousness of the incident, he adds.

Things get controversial when devolution lines are blurredpublished at 12:58 GMT

The leaked memo that showed Sir Keir Starmer was urging spending in devolved nations - even if it was opposed by devolved governments - is raised by the SNP's depute leader Keith Brown.

John Swinney seizes on this question from his colleague, accusing Labour of being "a threat to devolution".

But this is quite a complex area, as Scotland has two governments - both at Scottish and UK level.

So, if we take something like defence spending, it would only be the UK government who would spend in this area in Scotland. Regardless of the position of Scottish ministers. That's just how devolution works.

But things get a lot more controversial when UK governments decide to spend directly in devolved areas. And it does sound like that's something Sir Keir Starmer is willing to do.

SNP MSP Keith Brown raises the issue of a leaked memo which has sparked accusations Keir Starmer is undermining devolution.

The FM tells the chamber the memo shows the PM has as much contempt for devolution as his Tory predecessors.

"Labour is a threat to devolution," he adds, calling for independence.

What action is the Scottish government taking to promote vaccinations to combat measles, in light of reports of recent diagnoses in the NHS Grampian area, asks SNP MSP Kevin Stewart.

The FM replies: "Vaccination remains the most effective protection against measles and I urge everyone who is eligible to ensure they are fully vaccinated."

Swinney insists vaccinations save lives and he stresses the importance of getting the public messaging right.

Calls to expose 'cowboys' profiting off oil price hikespublished at 12:53 GMT

Christine Grahame, an SNP backbencher, raises the rise in prices of heating oil - something that's a huge issue for those who aren't connected to the grid.

Never one to mince her words, she calls on politicians to expose the "cowboys" making excessive profits out of price rises.

But John Swinney clarifies that it's for the UK government to bring in any financial help for households.

The SNP's Christine Grahame raises the increasing cost of oil and liquefied natural gas for heating in rural areas that are not connected to the mains gas supply.

The MSP for Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale says her constituents are "simply overwhelmed" by the soaring costs, with the price of their heating oil "doubling in days".

About 130,000 homes in Scotland are affected by the fuel prices, which are not included in the energy price cap. She calls for "proper regulation" of this industry.

Conservative MSP Rachel Hamilton asks if the first minister will make a crisis fund available to support these people "living in challenging times".

Swinney says he hopes de-escalation of the conflict in Iran can reverse the cost rises, but energy prices are fully reserved to the UK government.

The first minister tells the chamber he is delighted Mrs McGill has returned home.

Swinney turns to the issues relating to maternity services in Caithness and points to the work of the maternity taskforce which is under way.

Cole-Hamilton says there is nothing independent about a review being led by a minister and he adds: "Mums in the far north feel really let down and unsafe."

He says maternity wards across Scotland reported being short-staffed 300 times last year.

"Don't Scotland's mums deserve better than this?" he asks.

Swinney says Scotland's mums deserve the safe delivery of maternity care as close to home as possible.

It is now the turn of Alex Cole-Hamilton to quiz the first minister and he chooses to focus on Scotland's maternity services.

The Scottish Lib Dem leader highlights the downgrading of maternity service in Caithness, citing a mother who had to travel over 100 miles to Inverness.

He also returns to the much-visited issue of Margaret McGill being stuck in hospital due to no care package being available.

He say there's good news, she has finally returned home yesterday after her family hired support.

Questions over the Union Street fire lead FMQspublished at 12:39 GMT

Both Russell Findlay and Anas Sarwar have used the Glasgow fire as a jumping off point for bigger issues.

Findlay has called for more support for business, while Sarwar has concerns about the resourcing of Scotland's fire and rescue service.

It's a reminder of how big the fallout of this fire is likely to be, and how long it's likely to remain a political issue.

Sarwar presses for an urgent investigation on the "material difference" the cuts made to the response.

He says that while Swinney was visiting Union Street on Monday, Scottish government officials were meeting representatives of the Fire Brigades Union to inform them of plans to cut more jobs.

"Our fire service has already faced years of cuts," Sarwar says, adding that Sunday's "tragedy" must be a "wake-up call and a reason to pause".

Swinney says there has been a reduction in dwelling fires by 20% since 2013, but more demand for other issues such as flooding and wildfires, and SFRS reviews the resources to meet the needs.

He is confident that the response on Sunday was adequate, he adds.

Sarwar says that the SNP has cut the number of SRFS high reach appliances from 26 to 16 for the whole of Scotland, leaving just two in Glasgow.

But he says neither of these were available on Sunday because of annual inspections.

Firefighter posts were reduced by 1,200 since 2013, he adds.

He asks for an investigation into what impact these cuts made when the Union Street fire broke out.

The first minister says the response to the Union Street fire was exemplary and the equipment was there when needed.

Swinney adds that the recent budget added £23.8m to the fire service budget, bringing it to £436m.

The "horror" of the Union Street fire is also raised by Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.

He offers his thanks to the emergency teams and says he saw the best of the city when he visited the site on Monday and saw businesses and volunteers offering their support.

He asks what urgent lessons the government will learn from the incident.

Swinney says he also visited the scene on Monday and reiterated his gratitude to the firefighters, saying he considers it a "minor miracle" that no-one was hurt, and says the station was saved by the strategic judgements made by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

He says the government was looking at ways to regulate vape shops, like the one where the fire started, and it would provide financial support for affected business.

No plans for after work drinks any time soonpublished at 12:23 GMT

Russell Findlay, the Scottish Tory leader, has invited John Swinney for a pint. That all sounds very civil, right?

Not really. Findlay wants to berate the first minister over what he sees as punishing looming rises in business rates.

The first minister concedes some businesses face "significant increases" in what they pay. But he says there are reliefs in place that will lower bills for tens of thousands of businesses.

And he adds he doesn't have time for that pint.

Their exchange got quite testy towards the end. These two party leaders probably aren't going to share a drink any time soon.

The first minister concedes some businesses face significant rates increases due to the revaluation, but he highlights the "transitional relief" the government has provided.

Findlay argues the budget provided a sticking plaster and he says last month he invited Swinney for a pint to discuss the issue, but he refused.

The Scottish Tory leader accuses Swinney of treating the hospitality sector in a high-handed manner.

The FM refutes this and says there has been a whole range of different meetings between ministers and the sector.

"There does seem to be a lack of urgency to this matter," says Findlay.

The Scottish Tory leader warns increased rates bills will force some businesses to cease trading and lay off workers.

He calls for a pause to the new rates bills.

The first minister also praises the bravery and effectiveness of the fire fighting operation.

John Swinney tells the chamber: "The government is in active discussion with Glasgow City Council who are gathering information from the affected businesses."

He says he is not in a position yet to say exactly how much financial support will be given, but he hopes to do so shortly.

A huge blaze that engulfed a B-listed Victorian building in the centre of Glasgow on Sunday evening has left Scotland's busiest railway station shut down for days and destroyed dozens of businesses.

The fire started in a vape shop on Union Street at about 15:45 on Sunday, with firefighters being called soon afterwards.

The blaze later engulfed the entire building which occupied the corner of Union Street and Gordon Street, next to Glasgow Central Station, causing it to partially collapse.

An eyewitness told BBC Scotland News that he tried to tackle the fire at the vape shop but had to abandon the attempt after a series of explosions.

Glasgow Central's low level platforms, which serve the Argyle line north of the River Clyde, reopened on Wednesday after a full site assessment.

But Network Rail said the main high level station would remain closed for the rest of the week due to the "high level of instability" of the fire-damaged facade.

Russell Findlay begins by highlighting the "inferno that ripped through my home city of Glasgow" and calls it "devastating".

The Scottish Tory leader praises the efforts of firefighters who brought the blaze under control.

"The immediate focus must be on local businesses who already face severe pressures," he adds.

Findlay ask what support will be provided to these businesses.
