- Motion reference: S6M-05558
That the Parliament sends its best wishes to Team Scotland and to all those from the home nations and from across the Commonwealth competing in the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham; understands that this will be the Scottish team’s 22nd appearance since the games began in 1930; congratulates Kirsty Gilmour and Micky Yule on being chosen as Scotland’s flagbearers at the upcoming opening ceremony; notes that The Queen’s Baton travelled through Scotland in June 2022 on its journey to carry the spirit of the games to all corners of the UK and the Commonwealth; recognises what it sees as the positive legacy of sport left by the Commonwealth Games 2014 in Glasgow, and extends its hopes that the 2022 host city will also embrace what it considers these long-term benefits of the games, and wishes Team Scotland competitors every success as the games commence.
