*S4M-03182 Kenneth Gibson: Nuclear Weapons Will be Removed following Scottish Independence—That the Parliament applauds the decision taken by 14 of the 15 newly independent republics following the end of the Soviet Union, excluding Russia, to remove the 9,775 nuclear warheads that they had collectively on their soil and become free of nuclear weapons; understands that Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine had strategic nuclear weapons and that all nuclear weapons were removed from Belarus by 23 November 1996 and from Ukraine by 1 July 1996; understands that Ukraine at the time of independence had the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world, bigger than China, France and the UK combined; further understands that Kazakhstan held the world’s fourth nuclear arsenal yet was able to remove them by April 1995; acknowledges that the former Soviet Union’s Warsaw Pact allies from Bulgaria to Poland to Mongolia also swiftly dispensed with nuclear weapons, the Czech Republic having them removed in May 1990 even while the Soviet Union still existed; regrets that many of the arguments being deployed by vested interests and the pro-Trident UK parties against unilateral action, including employment and relocation considerations, were used against post-Soviet governments; regrets what it considers the muddled thinking of those who oppose the removal of nuclear weapons on the threadbare basis that they might move down the M74 or relocate to Portsmouth, as articulated by prominent members of the Labour party; believes these to be feeble arguments against the removal of nuclear weapons from Scotland and, in effect, a policy for doing nothing; seeks confirmation from the UK political parties regarding whether or not they would support building a new generation of nuclear weapons based in England and, if so, where and what plans they have to consult local communities that might be affected, and believes that Scotland would proceed swiftly to the removal of nuclear weapons following independence, which it considers the surest and swiftest way of making Scotland free from weapons of mass destruction.

*S4M-03181 Bruce Crawford on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau: Business Motion—That the Parliament agrees the following revision to the programme of business for Thursday 7 June 2012— after

*S4M-03180 Graeme Dey: WWI Centenary Project Inspired by Kirrie Soldier’s Poetry—That the Parliament notes that, as part of its centenary commemoration in 2014 to mark 100 years since the First World War began, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission is considering using the story of Lance Corporal John McHardie Beaton from Kirriemuir, who was killed in 1915 at the Battle of Aubers in France at the age of 21; notes that Lance Corporal Beaton’s poetry, which was sold in his home county to help purchase rations for the company in which he served, 5th Battalion Black Watch, provided inspiration for the commission’s interest in him; considers this interest to be welcome recognition of the sacrifices made by Angus men and women during the First World War and other conflicts; praises the commission for aiming to mark the war with a multimedia remembrance trail in Flanders, and thus discover more about the stories of Scotland’s young soldiers, and believes that, by recognising past wars, a new generation can be taught of the sacrifices made by their forebears in pursuing the preservation of democracy across Europe.

*S4M-03179 Rhoda Grant: Diageo Investment—That the Parliament welcomes the announcement on 6 June 2012 by the global drinks giant, Diageo, that it plans to invest £1 billion in the whisky industry; understands that this investment will be made through building a new malt whisky distillery, expanding existing plants and creating apprenticeships for 100 young people in Scotland; understands that, as a result of these new facilities, hundreds of jobs will be created in both the whisky industry and the construction sector; believes that this announcement is a massive boost for the economy at a time of economic uncertainty, and underlines the commitment of Diageo to Scotland.

their talent to world-class games developer studios, which equally play a key role in mentoring students during the nine-week competition; considers that this year’s competition will help to further enhance the reputation of both Dundee and Scotland as key players in the computer games development industry; looks forward to welcoming to Dundee on 11 June 2012 students from across the world who will later showcase their work on 10-11 August in the Caird Hall, and wishes them the very best of success in their endeavours.

Supported by: Mike MacKenzie*, Chic Brodie*, Hanzala Malik*, Helen Eadie*

*S4M-03175 Kenneth Gibson: The Saltire to Continue Flying over Hampden— That the Parliament notes the amendment in the name of Mary Fee to motion S4M- 03130; does not consider attempting to ensure that the Saltire flies over the national stadium at Hampden Park to be "political posturing"; fully recognises that Scotland will be represented by Team GB at the Olympic Games but does not appreciate how this relates to a campaign signed by thousands to ensure that the Saltire, which flies above Hampden 365 days a year, is retained during the course of the Games; does not believe that the campaign shows disrespect to the people of the UK; understands that other nations in political unions have successfully campaigned to ensure that their flag is flown over participating stadia during Olympiads, and is delighted to note that the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games has announced that the Saltire will be allowed to keep its normal pride of place above the country’s national stadium when eight Olympic football matches are played there in summer 2012.
