S6M-14848: Fulton MacGregor: Publication of National Primary School Swimming Framework— That the Parliament welcomes the publication of the National Primary School Swimming Framework and supporting guidance for increasing and improving swimming lessons by primary schools, including in the Coatbridge and Chryston constituency; understands that the development of this framework has been carried out by Scottish Swimming, in partnership with Scottish Water, to improve the current levels of swimming attainment within Scottish schools as part of a wider effort to ensure that every primary school pupil is afforded the opportunity to learn how to swim; further understands that the main objectives of the framework’s proposals include introducing non-swimmers to the aquatic environment to develop their water confidence, and developing a strict understanding of safety in the water; acknowledges that Scottish Swimming recommends pupils to have a minimum of seven and a half hours of curriculum swimming delivery, which could be comprised of 10 sessions of approximately 45 minutes; recognises that Scottish Swimming believes that the recommended age at which pupils should receive school swimming lessons is P4 and P5 because such children will have attained the appropriate literacy skills and before any social stigma can hinder their participation, which will help to ensure that all children have equal means and opportunities to engage with the swimming lessons; considers that the framework makes a clear distinction between a "universal" and "targeted" approach to school swimming provision, whereby all children are afforded the opportunity to swim, while a targeted approach identifies any pupils who are non-swimmers and require additional training and support; notes that the framework actively...

S6M-11980: Stuart McMillan: McClure Solicitors - That the Parliament notes with concern the reported failure and subsequent administration of McClure Solicitors in 2021; understands that the firm is believed to have had over 100,000 clients, many of whom held wills or trusts managed by the firm, and that a significant number of those clients will have lived in the Greenock and Inverclyde constituency, where the firm was originally founded in 1853; further understands that, since entering administration, a substantial portion of the firm's former clients remain unaware of its closure and the transfer of their files to another law firm, Jones Whyte in Glasgow, which, it believes, is obligated to provide such files to former clients at no cost if they do not wish to engage its services; acknowledges that, subsequently to the firm entering administration, a number of former clients have reported discrepancies and irregularities in the work carried out by McClure Solicitors, resulting in the need for substantial rework or correction, often incurring costs amounting to hundreds or even thousands of pounds for the former clients; understands that a number of former clients have lodged complaints with the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission regarding the work carried out by McClure Solicitors, and that some of these complaints have led to compensation orders to recompense those affected; notes the Scottish Parliament's passage of the Trusts and Successions (Scotland) Bill, which is aimed at modernising and improving the creation and management of trusts, and acknowledges the ongoing progress on the Regulation of Legal Services (Scotland) Bill; notes the belief that there should be a formal inquiry in the future to thoroughly examine all aspects of the firm's conduct, its collapse and subsequent events, and to suggest any changes necessary to prevent a recurrence of what it 2 PB/S6/24/017 sees as the suffering experienced by many former clients; further notes the belief, however, that the current priority should be assisting those former clients who face substantial legal fees or challenges in selling family homes; notes the encouragement for all MSPs to actively...
