The First Minister hosts regular news conferences in the drawing room of Bute House, where she engages with journalists who are based in the Scottish Parliament.

The events begin with a short statement from the First Minister, followed by an open question and answer session during which the attendees can ask any questions they like. The whole event is ‘on camera’ and is attended by around 30 representatives from the Scottish media.
