Decision Time

There are two questions to be put as a result of today’s business. The first question is, that motion S6M-10743, in the name of Graeme Dey, on support for the veterans and armed forces community, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament recognises the importance of Scotland’s veterans and Armed Forces community, and greatly values the significant contribution that they continue to make to society; further recognises that the contribution of veterans continues and grows as they move back into the communities that they served, with their experiences enriching society and providing a valuable and positive base for employers; supports the Scottish Government’s veterans strategy action plan, which has a clear vision to ensure the best possible outcomes for veterans and their families; notes the progress made in delivering the Plan, and agrees that the Scottish Government should continue to work with partners across the public, private and third sectors to ensure that the veterans and Armed Forces community receives the best possible support and access to services.

The final question is, that motion S6M-10767, in the name of George Adam, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on substitution on committees, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that Ross Greer be appointed as the Scottish Green Party substitute on the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee.

That concludes decision time.
