That the Parliament congratulates Donald MacPhee of South Uist on being awarded the Chief Constable of Police Scotland's Bravery and Excellence Award for saving a woman’s life in May 2020; understands that Donald, a skipper on the Yoker-Renfrew ferry, rescued the woman from her car, which had plunged into the River Clyde, by diving in and pulling her to safety before she was carried downstream; notes that he is a trained diver with over 40 years’ experience; further notes Police Scotland’s opinion that it was "a clearly life-threatening situation", and considers that the award’s presentation is a proper recognition for what it believes to have been a remarkable act of courage.
