There is one question to be put as a result of today’s business. The question is, that motion S4M-13045, in the name of Keith Brown, on making the most of the contribution of veterans to Scotland, be agreed to.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament commends the contribution that the armed forces and veterans make to life in Scotland; welcomes publication of the report, Transition in Scotland, by the Scottish Veterans Commissioner; recognises the challenges facing veterans transitioning to civilian life but believes that their training, skills, sense of duty and discipline mean that employers and companies benefit greatly from employing veterans, and seeks a coordinated approach, bringing together public and private sector stakeholders, in removing barriers to Scotland’s veterans realising their full potential.
