Every day in communities from Lerwick to Hawick, MSYPs take part in local decision making and create a real way of young people being involved from a grass-roots level.Today is significant in more ways than one, but especially as we will all be participants in the first ever session of the Scottish Parliament’s Public Petitions Committee to be held in this chamber. In March, the clerk to the committee, Fergus Cochrane, chaired four members’ motions at our national sitting in Coatbridge, two of which will be submitted to the committee as official petitions today.Andrew Deans MSYP will petition for the banning of Mosquito devices and Rowena Carlton MSYP will petition for political education to be provided to all young people in Scottish schools.
