Food and Drink

Meeting date: 1 September 2021

Liam McArthur

It has been great to see so many interventions being taken by members. However, from now on, interventions will have to be accommodated in the time allowance for each member. I call Martin Whitfield, to be followed by Michelle Thomson, who will be the last speaker in the open debate. Everybody who has participated in the debate must be in for the closing speeches.

We now move to the open debate. We have used all the latitude that we had earlier: any interventions must be accommodated within members’ time allocation.

Thank you very much, Ms Hamilton. I think that Mr Carlaw almost had a coronary at the prospect of wild swimming. [Laughter.]

Great Borders River Clean

Meeting date: 31 August 2021

Liam McArthur

The final item of business is a members’ business debate on motion S6M-00131, in the name of Rachael Hamilton, on the success of the great Borders river clean. The debate will be concluded without any question being put.

I call Rachael Hamilton, who is way up in the gods. You have around seven minutes.

Motion debated,

That the Parliament recognises the success of the Great Borders River Clean, which returned on 15-16 May 2021; congratulates the 460 volunteers who took part and collected over 3,000kg of rubbish from the River Tweed, including shopping trolleys, mattresses, signposts and a sun dial; thanks GreenTweed Eco for organising the event; recognises the strength and spirit of Borders’ towns and communities, who pulled together to tackle a common cause, and notes the importance of volunteer work ahead of Volunteers Week 2021, which takes place from 1 to 7 June.
