Journal of the Scottish Parliament Volume 2: 2Nd Parliamentary Year Journal of the Scottish Parliament Volume 2: 2nd Parliamentary Year, Session 3 (9 May 2008 – 8 May 2009) SPJ 3.2 © Parliamentary copyright. Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body Information on the Scottish Parliament’s copyright policy can be found on the website - www.scottish.parliament.uk or by contacting Public Information on 0131 348 5000. Foreword The Journal is the central, long-term, authoritative record of what the Parliament has done. The Minutes of Proceedings, which are produced for each meeting of the Parliament, do that in an immediate way, while the Journal presents essentially the same material but has the benefit of hindsight to allow any errors and infelicities of presentation to be corrected. Unlike the Official Report, which primarily records what is said, the Minutes of Proceedings, and in the longer term the Journal, provide the authoritative record of what was done. The Journal is required under Rule 16.3 of Standing Orders and contains, in addition to the Minutes of Proceedings themselves, notice of any Bill introduced*, notice of any instrument or draft instrument or any other document laid before the Parliament; notice of any report of a committee, and any other matter that the Parliament, on a motion of the Parliamentary Bureau, considers should be included. (* The requirement to include notice of Bills introduced was only added to Rule 16.3 in January 2003. However, such notices have in practice been recorded in the Annex to the Minutes of Proceedings from the outset.) Note: (DT), which appears throughout the Journal, signifies a decision taken at Decision Time.

  • Four Corners 60
    Scotland’s Jewish Gathering They came from the north and the south, they came from the east and the west! More than 150 Jewish people from all over Scotland – from the Western Isles and the Grampians to Galloway, from all strands of Judaism and none, aged from 3 to 83 – converged on Edinburgh Synagogue DIAMOND ISSUE DIAMOND and Community Centre over the weekend of 26th to 28th October for a programme of inspiring speakers, rousing music, stimulating discussion – and just getting to know one another better. Guest speakers included Board of Deputies vice-president Edwin Shuker, who had fled from Baghdad just before his bar mitzvah and spoke emotionally about his gratitude that he lives in a country where the Jewish community can thrive. Scottish Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf, speaking after news of the atrocity in Pittsburgh had broken, expressed sympathy and solidarity with the victims and with Jewish people throughout the world, and reiterated the Scottish Government’s commitment “to tackle prejudice and build the society we want to be, where each person, every family, and all communities can flourish.” The programme included a special open meeting of SCoJeC’s Council, and there were also discussions on tackling demographic change, women in Judaism, mental health, Jewish schools, fundraising, and the use of technology and social media. There was a stirring candle-lit musical Havdalah, a sing-along klezmer session, and separate activities for the 20 children aged 3 to 16. The final session was an unprecedented panel of the chairs of all Scotland’s Jewish communities, whose discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing them quickly turned into agreement that what they have in common hugely outweighs their differences of geography and affiliation.

  • Energy Use Energy Use Energy Use in Fife
    Annex 3: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use Energy use Energy use in Fife Factors which may indicate a different level of energy use than the average for Scotland: No major centres of employment or large towns, and Lower level of use some large industrial plants No major ‘out of town’ retail or leisure developments Lower level of use Compact towns Lower level of use Dispersed population and high car ownership Higher level of use High travel to work levels out of area Higher level of use Lack of local commercial, retail and leisure facilities Higher level of use outwith major settlements Limited public transport network Higher level of use Tourism interest and golf courses Higher level of use Annex 3: Compendium of Baseline Data Energy Use Heat Mapping The Scottish Government recently provided funding for Fife Council and Perth and Kinross Council to develop heat maps. A Heat Map brings together information on demand for heat and potential sources of supply for renewable heat. The map colour codes geographical areas based upon their likely demand for heat. They are made up by 50m² “tile” areas and buildings are grouped into these tile areas. The denser the area or larger the property, generally the more heat demand is identified. Major heat users such as hospitals, distilleries, factories or other employment uses are normally deeper or darker in colour than for example housing areas on the maps. Symbols can be electronically pinned to the maps to identify the highest heat demand users where these are more difficult to visually interpret. The map can also be used in reverse to identify heat supply sources such as power stations.

  • Labour Link News October 2009
    October 2009 Million Voices for Change - Public Works UNISON Scotland has launched its 'Public Works' campaign with the message that public service cuts will increase costs for ordinary families and will delay economic recovery. 'Public Works' is the Scottish arm of the union's 'Million Voices for Change' campaign. UNISON has warned that the headlong rush to cut and privatise public services will lead to delays in coming out of recession It has produced a leaflet demonstrating the importance of public services to everyone's lives and pointing to the huge costs that would fall on people if public services were not available. The ‘A Day in the Life’ leaflet follows an average woman through her day and points out our dependence on public services - from water and sewerage, through environmental health and refuse collection, to education and health care. It points out that all of us rely on public services, not just the most vulnerable, for whom they can be a lifeline. http://www.unison- scotland.org.uk/publicworks/index.html Scottish Labour MSP’s have been quick to add their support to the campaign, including shadow cabinet members, at an event in the Scottish Parliament during trade union week. The UNISON Scotland Labour Link Committee also met recently in Parliament to promote the campaign. They were joined by the Convenor of the UNISON Group of MSPs, Karen Gillon MSP to consider how best to build these ideas into the Scottish Labour manifesto for 2011. Shadow Environment Secretary Sarah Boyack MSP Scottish Parliament Candidate Selection The Boundary Commission for Scotland has now confirmed the revised constituency boundaries for the Scottish elections in 2011.

Her late husband, Laurence, was Assistant Minister at No. 1069 Scots’ Church from 1994-96, and many members have fond April 2018 memories of their time amongst us. Late last year Anne had major surgery, but is well on the way to recovery, and sends her greetings to all. Anne Coutts with her rescue dog Charlie William Mackie, grandson of Gordon and Lois Taylor, has recently completed a major project for his Australian Scout Medallion (pictured). William will travel to Sydney in August for the presentation of the award, the highest in Scouting. Well done William! William Mackie with his Australian Scout Medallion project Welcome back to all those who have had holidays in Australia or further afield in recent weeks. As each edition of The Leaflet goes to print we are aware that some of our members are suffering from illness, both in their immediate families or amongst close friends.
