  • Motion Debated
    Col Timber Industry 12527 The Deputy Presiding Officer (Mr George Reid): The final item of business today—and, indeed, of our stay in Aberdeen—is a members' business debate on motion S1M-2953, in the name of Alex Fergusson, on the timber industry. The debate will be concluded without any questions being put. Motion debated, That the Parliament acknowledges the value of timber as a primary product within rural Scotland and the 11,000 jobs which are dependent on that industry; recognises the very real difficulties faced by some rural local authorities in maintaining and improving minor roads for timber extraction, and believes that the Scottish Executive should meet COSLA's Rural Affairs Committee and representatives of the forestry industry to determine a satisfactory way forward, recognising that the placing of weight restriction orders, which effectively landlock large areas of mature timber, is not a realistic solution. 17:09 Alex Fergusson (South of Scotland) (Con): I begin by saying how very pleased I am that this motion has been picked for the pinnacle of our short sojourn here in the city of Aberdeen. I take the opportunity, as others have done, to thank all those involved in making our stay such a successful and enjoyable experience. To be picked to complete the proceedings is indeed a privilege. I hope that I make a rather better job of speaking to this motion than I did of writing an article on the subject in "Holyrood Magazine" a couple of weeks ago. I scribbled an 800-word article at the very last minute and I did not even have time to proof read it.
