*S4M-13554 Mike MacKenzie: Grieg Seafood Hatches New Jobs—That the Parliament welcomes the opening of Grieg Seafood Hjaltland’s Millbrook Hatchery in Shetland; understands that the state-of-the-art hatchery employs the latest technology in water recirculation, allowing for the production of high quality juvenile salmon from a much smaller volume of freshwater than is possible using traditional hatchery technology; believes that the opening of Millbrook Hatchery has created 16 new skilled jobs in Shetland and that it will produce a total of five million juvenile salmon every year; acknowledges that Shetland, which it understands already produces around a third of Scotland’s farmed salmon, now has the potential to become self-sufficient in production of juvenile salmon for the first time; believes that the investment will reduce the carbon footprint of Shetland-produced salmon by reducing the need to transport fish by boat from the Scottish mainland; congratulates Grieg Seafood on what it sees as such a positive contribution to the local aquaculture industry, and wishes the company well with its plans.

*S4M-13553 Anne McTaggart: Junior Saltire Award for Castlemilk High Pupils— That the Parliament congratulates the team of four pupils from Castlemilk High School on winning the Junior Saltire Award after designing and building their own floating wave energy converter; understands that the winners were awarded the prestigious award together with £750 going to their school for inventing the renewable energy device; believes that the competition was split into three age groups, P5-P7, S1-S3 and S4-S6, with teams in each age group having to submit an initial design brief followed by evidence of their finished model and that Castlemilk High School won in the S4-S6 age group; considers that Scotland plays a key role in the development of the renewable energy industry and is encouraged to note that more than 200 teams from around Scotland entered the competition; further congratulates all the finalists, and hopes that the awards will encourage pupils to consider career options in the future in this growing industry.

*S4M-13552 Clare Adamson: Unveiling of Scottish Steelworkers’ Memorial— That the Parliament welcomes the unveiling in Motherwell, on 17 June 2015, of the Memorial to Scottish Steelworkers; notes that the memorial statue has been sculpted by Andy Scott, who also created the Kelpies; understands that it recognises the work of steelworkers in Scotland who, over two centuries, have revolutionised the Scottish economy and contributed to its long and proud international reputation for high- quality iron and steelmaking; also understands that the memorial will represent and commemorate the contribution of all steelworkers in Scotland and serve as a lasting tribute to the brave workers in that industry who faced significant danger or lost their

lives in the workplace; commends the commitment and efforts of the Scottish Steelworkers’ Memorial Fund and all involved in raising the necessary funding for the memorial and the site on which it stands, and believes that it will serve as a profound reminder to present and future generations of the proud and challenging work done by Scottish steelworkers.

*S4M-13548 Willie Coffey: Remembering Ensign Ewart—That the Parliament acknowledges that 18 June 2015 marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo; notes that, in the course of the battle, Ensign Charles Ewart, who was from Kilmarnock, seized the Imperial Eagle and Standard of the 45th Régiment de Ligne during the famous charge of the Scots Greys; notes that the eagle and standard is permanently displayed in Edinburgh Castle and that Ensign Ewart is commemorated and honoured through his interment in the castle’s grounds; commends the work of the Kilmarnock-based Waterloo 200 committee, including what it sees as the significant contribution made by the late John Smith from Fenwick; notes that a commemoration will take place in Kilmarnock, which will involve the pipes and drums and a contingent of mounted troopers from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, who will parade a replica of the standard, which has been made by the Dean Castle Textile Team, through the town before handing it to the Provost of East Ayrshire, Councillor Jim Todd, and hopes that everyone involved enjoys a successful event.

*S4M-13547 Jackson Carlaw: East Renfrewshire Council Forced to Think Again—That the Parliament congratulates the residents of Newford Grove in Clarkston on their successful campaign to have East Renfrewshire Council reverse its decision to place the entrance for a new nursery and family centre close to their houses; acknowledges what it sees as the hard work of Graeme Oswald, who coordinated the campaign; understands that, while the residents did not object to the facility being built, they felt that the entrance would be in a location with potentially dangerous consequences because of traffic levels and its proximity to their homes; believes that the council’s environment department had refused to acknowledge local residents’ concerns or consider any alternative but that the residents’ group presented the local authority with an alternative location and set of plans, and hopes that the council will now work with them to achieve an acceptable solution based on these recommendations.

*S4M-13546 Neil Findlay: West Lothian College Staff Volunteer Time to Maple Villa Care Home—That the Parliament commends the work of 10 staff members of West Lothian College who volunteered their own time to improve the gardens at Maple Villa Care Home for male patients with dementia; understands that, during the time spent at the care home, the college staff cut grass, painted decking, planted flowers, maintained raised flower beds, renewed hanging baskets and are in the process of making new garden furniture; believes this work to be an excellent example of intergenerational working, social solidarity and cooperation between

public organisations; encourages West Lothian College and Maple Villa Care Home to look at how this support can continue in the future, and suggests that this type of collaboration is something that others can learn from.
