The second question is, that motion S4M-01620, in the name of Shona Robison, on the delivery and legacy of the Commonwealth games, as amended, be agreed to.
Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament notes the good progress being made by the Games partners to deliver the 2014 Commonwealth Games on time and on budget; welcomes the view of the Commonwealth Games Federation’s first Evaluation Commission that Games planning is on course and that the Games partnership is a strong one; recognises the tangible benefits already realised through collaborative working between the Scottish Government and its many partners, and recognises that the current and planned activity has the potential to maximise the legacy for the whole of Scotland from both the London 2012 Olympic Games and the 2014 Commonwealth Games, and calls on the Scottish Government to report more regularly to the Parliament on the implementation of the Games legacy plan for Scotland.
