The fourth question is, that motion S4M-06921, in the name of Shona Robison, on supporting a sporting nation, as amended, be agreed to.
Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament acknowledges the important role that sport plays in the lives of children and young people by helping to create a lifelong habit of being active; recognises the potential that youth sport can have in improving physical and mental wellbeing and establishing sporting success in Scotland; agrees that every effort should be made to harness the motivational potential of the Commonwealth Games in promoting youth sport; notes research from Join In highlighting the ongoing volunteering efforts of many Olympic Games makers; further notes the increased appetite among the public to get involved in volunteering, which, it believes, demonstrates one important way in which major sporting events can deliver a legacy benefiting grassroots sports; recognises the importance of ensuring that all new primary and secondary schools built through the Scottish Futures Trust include sports facilities that are widely and easily available to the public and recognises that access to quality sporting facilities and trained coaches help to motivate and encourage continued participation in sport; notes the Scottish Government’s commitment to publish a draft youth sport strategy in September 2013, and recognises Glasgow’s bid for the Youth Olympics in 2018 as evidence of the commitment to delivering a sporting legacy.
The fifth question is, that motion S4M-06924, in the name of Alex Neil, on Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, United Kingdom legislation, be agreed to.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament agrees that the relevant provisions of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill introduced in the House of Commons on 24 January 2013 relating to the recognition of English and Welsh same sex marriages under the law of Scotland, the dissolution by the courts in Scotland and Northern Ireland of English and Welsh same sex marriages recognised as civil partnerships in Scotland and Northern Ireland and the recognition of the ending of those relationships, provisions on transgender people who married or entered into a civil partnership in England and Wales being able to stay in the relationship and obtain a full Gender Recognition Certificate and on errors in Certificates and fraud in relation to Certificates, the repeal of the Foreign Marriage Act 1892, marriages overseas, and transitional and consequential provisions, so far as these matters fall within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament or alter the executive competence of the Scottish Ministers, should be considered by the UK Parliament.
