- Submitted by: Jackson Carlaw, Eastwood, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
- Date lodged: Thursday, 25 January 2018
- Motion reference: S5M-10103
That the Parliament notes Chelsea FC's new initiative against the scourge of anti-Semitism; understands that the long-term initiative will officially launch on 31 January 2018 as part of the team's inclusion work through the Chelsea Foundation's campaign, Building Bridges; welcomes that the news that it will be working with valued organisations, such as the Holocaust Educational Trust and the Community Security Trust, and considers that such positive action from football clubs can do much to educate people about and prevent the bigotry of anti-Semitism.
