BRIAN TAYLOR'S BIG DEBATE COMES TO BIGGAR, FRIDAY 14TH MAY
Do you love a good debate, or have big questions to ask?
BBC Scotland's Political Editor, Brian Taylor is chairing a live news debate from Biggar Municipal Hall (to be confirmed), with his weekly BBC Radio Scotland show Brian Taylor's Big Debate, focussing on this week's biggest news stories. The programme broadcasts with a panel in front of an audience, and takes a similar format to the BBC's Question Time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00r4txm/Brian_Taylors_Big_Debate_05_03_2010/

As the programme researcher, I would like to invite people from your organisation to come along and participate in the debate as part of the audience for news, views and discussion. Please arrive for between 11:30 and 11:45 (the broadcast is from 12:15-13:00).

The panel will consist of four people, including government representatives.
So if you'd like to join in the debate with Brian's lively panel, then please book your place in the audience by emailing brian@bbc.co.uk You are welcome to bring friends/family members if you wish.

QUESTIONS
Questions relating to news stories which have appeared in the news this week would be most welcome.   You can also submit a topical question/s which you feel is relevant to you. They should be brief and to the point - the more succinct the more chance of being picked. Please email your question to brian@bbc.co.uk by Thursday 13 May with your phone number too, please.

Here are some recent examples of programme questions:
-Will this be the last first-past-the-post general election?
-Given the recent decision to go ahead with the Beauly-Denny power line, how do the panel feel this decision will affect tourism in the area?

-Is it right that MPs should not be allowed to employ members of their families?
