Date of next meeting – Tuesday 30 November 2010 PB/S3/10/164 PARLIAMENTARY BUREAU POSSIBLE MOTIONS FOR MEMBERS BUSINESS 1. Bureau Members will be aware that under Rule 5.6.1(c) the Bureau has a duty to ensure that there is a period of time available for Members’ Business following Decision Time. 2. Motions submitted for Members’ Business are shown below. *S3M-7436# Andrew Welsh: Scotland’s Further Education Colleges—That the Parliament congratulates the staff and students of Angus College on what it considers another successful year in providing high-quality training and resources in its continuing exceptional contribution to building Scotland’s skills base for the future and also acknowledges the wider role of Scotland’s further education colleges in upskilling and retraining across the range of professional and practical skills considered essential in overcoming the challenges of the current economic situation. Supported by: Angela Constance*, Sandra White*, Bill Butler*, Pauline McNeill*, Margaret Smith*, John Scott*, Nigel Don*, John Lamont*, Brian Adam*, Rob Gibson*, Mary Scanlon*, Joe FitzPatrick*, Bill Kidd* S3M-7416# Kenneth Gibson: Energy Best Deal Scotland Campaign—That the Parliament welcomes Consumer Focus Scotland’s Energy Best Deal Scotland campaign and its aim of supporting consumers in Scotland to get the best deal on their energy bills; particularly welcomes the work that it will do with advice agencies to build the advice and support available for low- income consumers who are most likely to save by switching but currently least likely to do so; notes that Consumer Focus Scotland’s Paying the Right Price research found that almost half of all households in Scotland have never switched energy supplier or tariff, meaning that around one million households are potentially missing out on average savings of £100 per year, with many lower income households able to save much more; further notes that, of those who have switched, the vast majority have either saved as much or more than they expected to and that most also found it easy to switch; recognises the important contribution that switching energy supplier or tariff can make to saving on household outgoings and tackling fuel poverty, alongside wider energy savings initiatives, and backs the campaign’s aim to support Scottish households in constituencies such as Cunninghame North to get the best deal on their energy bills. Supported by: Christina McKelvie, Bob Doris, Hugh O’Donnell, Sandra White, Robert Brown, Rob Gibson, Bill Kidd, Joe FitzPatrick, John Wilson, Jamie Hepburn S3M-7415# Jeremy Purvis: A Scottish Veterans Charter—That the Parliament appreciates the service that the men and women of the armed forces veterans community in the South of Scotland and beyond have made to the nation; values the breadth of commitment made by veterans, including carrying out what it regards as uniquely dangerous and challenging conditions of service; appreciates that, as a result of the particular characteristics of armed forces service, many veterans might need to call on support for physical and mental health problems, employment advice and social care; believes that there should be sensitivity with regards to the unique nature of military service when designing and delivering such services, and would welcome a Scottish veterans charter that would allow all public bodies to be able to recognise their duties and responsibilities in providing support to veterans and that would ensure that all veterans and their families are reintegrated, without disadvantage, to civilian life. Supported by: Jamie Hepburn S3M-7393# Jim Hume: Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome (SADS)—That the Parliament recognises the devastating impact that the death of an apparently healthy young person from a previously undiagnosed heart condition can have on the friends and family of the deceased; further recognises that, on average, 12 people in the United Kingdom die each week from a heart condition associated with sudden arrhythmia death syndrome (SADS); understands that this 1 PB/S3/10/164 figure is likely to be less than the actual total because of the difficulties that it believes exist in accurately identifying and recording such deaths; congratulates the work of charities such as Cardiac Risk in the Young and the Selkirk-based Scottish HART for highlighting the deaths of young people from SADS and campaigning for greater awareness; welcomes the Cardiac Assessment of Young Athletes programme run by Professor Stewart Hillis, which screens young people involved in amateur sport for potential heart conditions, and wishes to see a greater awareness of deaths in young people from SADS. Supported by: Jamie Hepburn, Sandra White, Jackie Baillie, Gil Paterson, Bill Kidd, John Farquhar Munro, Nanette Milne, Liam McArthur, Jim Tolson, Hugh Henry, Mike Pringle, Mary Scanlon, Robin Harper, Kenneth Gibson, Hugh O’Donnell* S3M-7374# Sandra White: Concern over Relocation of Asylum Seekers—That the Parliament notes with serious concern the decision by the UK Border Agency (UKBA) to terminate its accommodation contract with Glasgow City Council, which could lead to the forced relocation of over a thousand asylum seekers to anywhere in Scotland; criticises the UKBA for the apparent suddenness of its communication and lack of clarity contained within, which is believed to have led to great uncertainty and anxiety not only among those in Glasgow but also the local integration networks and housing providers; believes that the UKBA policies that state that “whenever possible you will be given at least three to five days’ notice of the move” and that “you will (only) be allowed to take two pieces of luggage per person to your new accommodation” are directly opposed to the basic rights that many have fought for and more aligned with the injustices that many have fought against, and would welcome alternative proposals being brought forward. Supported by: Trish Godman, Christina McKelvie, Patrick Harvie, Hugh O’Donnell, Stuart McMillan, Bill Kidd, Bill Wilson, Jamie Hepburn, Anne McLaughlin, Patricia Ferguson, Gil Paterson, Bob Doris, Dave Thompson, Maureen Watt, Elaine Smith, Christopher Harvie, Marlyn Glen* S3M-7361# Kenneth Gibson: Epilepsy Awareness Training—That the Parliament believes that there would be merit in epilepsy training becoming an integral part of the student teacher training course curriculum so that teaching staff are equipped to detect potential seizures in children and young people and can be proactive in providing appropriate support to pupils with epilepsy and agrees that this could boost teacher confidence in handling as many as 7,000 children in Scotland with active epilepsy, enable early detection of seizures in over 800 children each year, provide more tailored learning and emotional support to normalise the condition and reduce classroom stigma for children in North Ayrshire and across Scotland. Supported by: Ms Wendy Alexander, Mary Mulligan, Alasdair Allan, Aileen Campbell, Bill Wilson, Christina McKelvie, Bill Kidd, Jamie Hepburn, Alison McInnes, Stuart McMillan, Gil Paterson, Bill Butler, Shirley-Anne Somerville, Ken Macintosh, Bob Doris, Robert Brown, Margaret Smith, Johann Lamont, Hugh O’Donnell, Liam McArthur S3M-7358# Jamie Hepburn: Nine Years of Conflict in Afghanistan—That the Parliament notes that 7 October 2010 marked the ninth anniversary of the start of Operation Enduring Freedom by the United States’ military in Afghanistan and that 20 December 2010 will mark the ninth anniversary of the establishment of the International Security Assistance Force by the United Nations; further notes that this is longer than the duration of World War I and of World War II, and nearly as long as both these wars combined; regrets the loss of life caused by the conflict, including 341 military personnel from the United Kingdom, 2,174 from coalition forces in total and thousands of civilian causalities; considers that there is widespread concern among residents in Central Scotland and across the country at the ongoing loss of life, both military and civilian, in Afghanistan, and believes that greater progress is required to be made on a timely exit strategy. Supported by: Aileen Campbell, Bill Wilson, Kenneth Gibson, Bob Doris, Brian Adam, Bill Kidd, Maureen Watt, Elaine Smith, Stuart McMillan, Gil Paterson, Bill Butler, Shirley-Anne Somerville S3M-7356# Shirley-Anne Somerville: Moratorium on Large-scale Biomass Plants—That the Parliament recognises the concerns of local communities in Leith, Dundee, Grangemouth and Rosyth at being faced with planning applications for large-scale biomass plants; notes that these 2 PB/S3/10/164 concerns relate to emissions, air quality, odour, noise, traffic and visual impact; believes that such plants will also cause problems for wood markets and related industries; is concerned that the sustainability and environmental benefits of biomass power stations are very much in doubt because of fuel-sourcing issues and emerging research suggesting that they may not help Scotland meet its CO2 reduction targets in the short term; notes also that biomass plants

Motions submitted for Members’ Business are shown below. S3M-464# John Lamont: Support for Border News—That the Parliament considers that moves by ITV to merge some of its smaller regional news services should be opposed; believes that these proposals pose a significant threat to the future of Border television and would be damaging to regional news in the region; considers that a merger of Border television news with STV news services would also be a bad move for television in Scotland and would provide a downgraded service for the customer, and believes that local and regional television services provide a valuable role in an increasingly centralised market.

S3M-7199# Margaret Curran: Closure of Lightburn Hospital—That the Parliament notes with concern the proposed closure of Lightburn Hospital in the east end of Glasgow and the relocation of services to both the Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Stobhill Hospital; considers that this proposal will cause difficulties for many people in the wider east end of Glasgow who rely on this local healthcare facility, resulting in lengthy journeys by often unsuitable public transport; believes that local rehabilitation healthcare facilities are important in ensuring a more effective recovery*, and* considers this a reversal of the Scottish Government’s policy presumption against centralisation.
