It is we who must tell people what Tuesday 24 January 2017 happened 77 years ago. When survivors can no longer tell their stories, it is we who must ensure [The Presiding Officer opened the meeting at that they live on. We must spread the message of 14:00] acceptance of all cultures, religions and races. My generation can defy expectations and Time for Reflection improve the world. I am an optimist; I am passionate. I do not want history to repeat itself. I The Presiding Officer (Ken Macintosh): Good hope that today members of the Scottish afternoon. The first item of business today is time Parliament and people across Scotland will join us for reflection. Our time for reflection leaders are in remembering those murdered in Auschwitz. Jessica Reid and Callum Docherty, who are pupils Together, let us ensure that the world never at Braes high school, Reddingmuirhead in Falkirk. forgets the past and strives for a more positive Callum Docherty (Braes High School, future. Falkirk): My name is Callum and this is Jess. We attend Braes high school in Falkirk. In November, we participated in the lessons from Auschwitz project. It was one of the most significant experiences of my life. We heard the testimony of Holocaust survivor Eva Clarke, who was born, against all odds, on the steps of Mauthausen concentration camp. It was such a personal story. I learned a great deal from Eva about the impact of the Holocaust on real people—a type of understanding you cannot get from a textbook. Our visit began in the town of Oświęcim, which had a majority Jewish population before the Holocaust. Christians and Jews lived together in peace. Now not a single Jew lives there. A whole community was destroyed for ever. What I saw at Auschwitz will stay with me for ever. I saw 2,000kg of human hair that had been taken from victims for use in the manufacture of clothing and bedding. I could not believe it. Jews had been persecuted to the point where they were not even viewed as human. To see the horrors that mankind is capable of is often incomprehensible, but we must always remember what happened in the past, so that we can learn from it. Jessica Reid (Braes High School, Falkirk): We have discussed at length the individuals who were affected by, and the perpetrators of, the Holocaust. They were people like us with families, dreams and worries. So why did it happen? What made people think that it was acceptable? We must learn from history to ensure that it never happens again. The importance of fighting prejudice is never more evident than when we consider those people who did nothing to speak out. In a world where racism and prejudice are still rising, it is vital to educate others to recognise the consequences of not fighting anti-Semitism, racism and hatred. 3 24 JANUARY 2017 4 Business Motion Topical Question Time 14:03 14:04 The Presiding Officer (Ken Macintosh): The Concessionary Travel Scheme (Eligibility Age) next item of business is consideration of business motion S5M-03602, in the name of Joe FitzPatrick, 1.

The health boards are listed in alphabetical order, followed by the name of the MSPs, their party and the constituency or region they represent. The boundaries of health boards and parliamentary constituencies do not coincide, so some constituencies overlap into two or more health boards. Where this happens the MSP representing the constituency will be listed under all relevant health boards. Similarly, where the boundary of a Scottish Parliament region overlaps into two or more health boards all of the MSPs elected to represent that region will be listed under all relevant health boards.

  • Human Rights and the Work of the Scottish Land Commission
    Human Rights and the Work of the Scottish Land Commission A discussion paper Dr Kirsteen Shields May 2018 LAND LINES A series of independent discussion papers on land reform issues Background to the ‘Land Lines’ discussion papers The Scottish Land Commission has commissioned a series of independent discussion papers on key land reform issues. These papers are intended to stimulate public debate and to inform the Commission’s longer term research priorities. The Commission is looking at human rights as it is inherent in Scotland’s framework for land reform and underpins our Strategic Plan and Programme of Work. This, the fifth paper in the Land Lines series, is looking at the opportunities provided by land reform for further realisation of economic, social and cultural human rights. The opinions expressed, and any errors, in the papers are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Commission. About the Author Dr Kirsteen Shields is a Lecturer in International Law at the University of Edinburgh’s Global Academy on Agriculture and Food Security and was recently a Fullbright / Royal Society of Edinburgh Scholar at the University of Berkeley, California. She has advised the Scottish Parliament on land reform and human rights and was the first Academic Fellow to the Scottish Parliament’s Information Centre (SPICe) in 2016. LAND LINES A series of independent discussion papers on land reform issues Summary Keywords Community; property rights; land; human rights; economic; social; cultural Background This report provides a primer on key human rights developments and obligations relevant to land reform. It explains the evolution in approach to human rights that is embodied in the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 and it applies that approach to aspects of the Scottish Land Commission’s four strategic priorities.

  • 2011-Holyrood-Manifesto.Pdf
    SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT MANIFESTO 2011 This is a crucial election. UK Ministers are cutting our public services, and all the other Holyrood parties are debating how to do exactly the same. Governments of all colours in London and Edinburgh have neglected our environment, let inequality widen, and narrowed our politics. Only Greens are offering an alternative to this failed agenda. We’ll raise revenue from the wealthy and from big business, and invest in the things that matter. We think the Scottish Parliament was created for this. We’ll protect Scotland’s public services, and build the low-carbon economy the others only talk about, to cut energy bills, create jobs and tackle climate change. If you agree, make your 2nd vote Green on 5th May 2011. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 A Green alternative to public service cuts 4 Local roots for a local economy 6 Building a fairer and more sustainable economy 8 Secure, safe and sustainable energy 10 A public transport renaissance 12 Caring for our most valuable natural assets 14 Education as a social good to be funded collectively 16 Supporting Scotland’s diverse communities 18 A healthy society, not just one that picks up the pieces 20 Promoting justice and crime prevention 22 A deeper devolution and a responsible Scotland 24 THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE IMPORTANT TIME TO VOTE GREEN he Scottish Green Party has been a part of Scotland has an alternative.

  • The Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform; That Refer to a “Climate Emergency”
    Please provide all emails sent and received by: the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform; that refer to a “Climate Emergency”. This should cover the period from 1 February 2019 to 11 May 2019. From: (REDACTED) Date: 8 May 2019 at 10:48:11 BST To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Climate Emergency (REDACTED). Dear Cabinet Secretary, I watched with pride and admiration, The First Minister put Scotland again in a leadership position in the fight on Climate Change by declaring a “climate emergency” at the SNP Conference last month. So immediate and real are the threats of climate change that we really are in a state of emergency. Often when we think of the Environment and its damage we imagine somewhere or someone on the other side of the world. The damage is real and it is happening here in Scotland and its victims are the poor and the young. Encouraged by the recent Climate Change demonstrations in London and Edinburgh as well as the First Ministers speech, I have done my own research in to the Environmental Standards in my own locality, and I am disheartened by what I found. In terms of Air Quality alone, which is so vitally Important to health, what I discovered is a worrying trend of worsening air quality at the same time as the Afternoon school run (15:00 – 16:00). This isn’t just unique to my own town, but a pattern that is repeated across many locations around Scotland.

    Edinburgh Voluntary Organisations’ Council 525 Ferry Road Edinburgh EH5 2FF Wednesday, 10 June 2020 Edinburgh: Ash Denham MSP; Ruth Davidson MSP; Ben Macpherson MSP; Gordon MacDonald MSP; Daniel Johnson MSP; Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP. Regional: Alison Johnstone MSP; Andy Wightman MSP; Sarah Boyack MSP; Neil Findlay MSP; Gordon Lindhurst MSP; Miles Briggs MSP; Jeremy Balfour MSP. Cc: Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister Aileen Campbell, Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government Jean Freeman, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport Ben Macpherson, Minister for Public Finance and Migration Kevin Stewart, Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning Paul Johnson, Director General for Education, Communities and Justice Dear Members of the Scottish Parliament, RE: FOOD FUND DEPLETION AND THE EFFECT UPON VULNERABLE CITIZENS • The Scottish Government investment through the Food Fund in Edinburgh is depleted following the provision of approximately 27,000 meals per week to many of our Capital’s most vulnerable people. This has been carried out by numerous small local organisations with coordination support through the Edinburgh Third Sector Interface. • Despite the best efforts of City of Edinburgh Council, we are currently not being made aware of any plans, from Scottish Government, to deliver a further investment into this fund – which will run out before Monday 15th June 2020 – leaving thousands of vulnerable people at significant risk. • The risks include the obvious health and social care challenges but perhaps more importantly, potentially forcing those who are at increased risk of serious illness or those who could potentially infect others to leave isolation to go to supermarkets, utilise public transport or attend food banks.
