Business Bulletin: Tuesday 8 November 2011 Section F – Motions and Amendments

Motions and amendments are normally printed the day after they are lodged. If an amendment is lodged to a motion then the original motion will appear alongside the amendment, along with any support lodged that day, in this section.

Each Monday, this section also contains all motions and amendments lodged the previous week that are still live and any motions and amendments that have been lodged for debate in the coming week. A motion or amendment is live if it has not been debated, withdrawn or otherwise deleted from the list.

Where a motion or amendment has been withdrawn, it is indicated in this section the day after it has been withdrawn. Support for motions and amendments received after they are lodged is shown at the end of this section the day after such support is received.

Motions and amendments can be published with various symbols:

• Asterisks before the motion or amendment number indicate a motion or amendment published for the first time;

• Asterisks also identify alterations to the text of a motion or amendment made since it was first published;

• A hash symbol identifies motions eligible for debate at Members’ Business;

• A diamond symbol identifies motions lodged for Members’ Business that have not yet attracted the required cross-party support;

• An "R", identifies motions or amendments in which the Member who lodged it has a registrable interest.

The Parliamentary Bureau periodically deletes motions or amendments not scheduled for debate and which are over six weeks old.

A search facility is also available on the Scottish Parliament web site at http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx.

Any questions in relation to this section should be directed to the Chamber Desk, for which contact details are provided at the end of the Bulletin.

New and altered motions and amendments

*S4M-01263 Willie Rennie: Prevention Saves Money and Misery—That the Parliament congratulates the Liberal Democrat-led City of Edinburgh Council, Edinburgh Cyrenians and other organisations on what it sees as their innovative partnership working to reduce and prevent homelessness as the 2012 homelessness target approaches; welcomes the Edinburgh Cyrenians’ report, Prevention Saves Money and Misery, on what is considered to be its pioneering Homelessness Prevention Service, which was commissioned by the City of Edinburgh Council; understands that the Homelessness Prevention Service is designed to prevent people presenting as homeless, by either keeping their current house or moving to another in a planned way; particularly welcomes the finding that 99% of people supported by this specialist service were still in their home a year later; considers that prevention can result in significant savings for local authorities and can bring other improvements to peoples’ lives, in particular in relation to their financial, employment and health circumstances, and believes that this pioneering model could play a valuable role in other areas of Scotland.

*S4M-01262 Michael Matheson: Rehabilitation and Enablement in Scotland— That the Parliament recognises the importance of rehabilitation and re-ablement in supporting the health and social wellbeing of the growing older population, people with long-term conditions and those trying to remain in or return to work after illness or injury; further notes that rehabilitation and re-ablement are key to supporting self- management and enabling individuals to live productive and meaningful lives in their own homes and communities, and recognises the importance of this approach in underpinning the reshaping of community services as well as the future sustainability and affordability of health and social care provision.

Supported by: Nicola Sturgeon*

*S4M-01261 Joan McAlpine: New Parliamentary Website—That the Parliament congratulates the eServices team on the Parliament’s new website; considers the site to be user-friendly and a tool that further advances democratic engagement, and appreciates the hard work of all those involved in creating and maintaining the new site.

*S4M-01260 Rhoda Grant: Tegola Broadband Access for Remote Highlands and Islands Communities—That the Parliament recognises the benefits and opportunities for providing high quality, low cost, wireless broadband to the remote communities in the Highlands and Islands; considers that the Tegola project, which is sponsored by the University of Edinburgh and the University of the Highlands and Islands and built by the communities of Arnisdale and Knoydart, has conclusively demonstrated the economic and social benefits of reliable internet connections; notes that in October 2011, when telephone lines to the area were completely knocked out by lightning strikes, the residents were able to maintain communications with the outside world through the Tegola network and that emergency health services to a much wider area were diverted through Tegola, and considers that establishing the

infrastructure to enable communities to build such networks should be a government priority.

Supported by: Sarah Boyack*, Jamie McGrigor*, Liam McArthur*

Supported by: Annabelle Ewing*, Elaine Murray*, Jackie Baillie*, Jamie McGrigor*, Kenneth Gibson*, Michael McMahon*, Richard Lyle*, Mark McDonald*, Kevin Stewart*

*S4M-01255 George Adam: 30,000 People Celebrate in Paisley—That the Parliament congratulates Renfrewshire Council on what it considers another hugely successful Christmas lights switch on, which saw over 30,000 people gather in the town centre for a winter celebration that lasted for over six hours, catering for all ages of the community; recognises all those who worked their utmost, not only to set up all of the entertainment, but also to clear up the town centre during the night to leave the town absolutely spotless the next day; wishes all the businesses in Paisley that stayed open and participated in the celebration every success, and acknowledges the efforts and vision of Renfrewshire Council to show everyone in Renfrewshire and beyond what Paisley has to offer.
