S6M-11508: Katy Clark: Women and Girls’ Safety on Public Transport - That the Parliament believes that sexual harassment and abusive and antisocial behaviour are a widespread problem on public transport in Scotland, with women and girls disproportionately impacted; notes the survey by the Office for National Statistics, which reportedly shows that around half of women in Britain feel unsafe using public transport alone after dark, compared with around one in five men; notes with concern the findings of a RMT union survey of ScotRail members in 2023, which, it 6 PB/S6/24/012 understands, found that more than 70% of women members had experienced workplace violence in the past year, and that more than 90% believed that workplace violence and antisocial behaviour was increasing, with the same amount reporting feeling less safe at work than they used to; understands that the unions Unite, TSSA and ASLEF have also reported incidences of violence and antisocial behaviour directed at their women members; notes the British Transport Police statistics, which reportedly show that there were 77 sexual crimes recorded in Scotland in 2021-22, and that there were 63 reports of sexual assaults on ScotRail trains between 2017 and 2021; understands that two thirds of ScotRail stations are unstaffed, including stations in the West Scotland region, and that the Scottish Government is considering cutting ticket office opening hours, as consulted on by ScotRail's former operator, Abellio, in 2022; welcomes Transport Scotland’s published report, Women's and girls' views and experiences of personal safety when using public transport, which found "consensus from women and girls of all ages that being in spaces that were staffed or had a staff presence made women feel safe" and that women were "more comfortable if ticket offices were open and staffed (especially later at night)", and calls on the Scottish Government to provide an update on its stated intention to progress the report’s 10 recommendations with organisations that were invited to participate in this work, including trade unions.

Members' Business motions that have not achieved cross party support *S6M-11073 Ben Macpherson: Enhancing Scottish Football—That the Parliament celebrates what it sees as the current successful period for the Scottish national football teams; believes that, collectively as a nation, Scotland should seek to build on this progress and achievement, and therefore make further improvements to realise even more of Scotland’s footballing potential, including in the Edinburgh Northern and Leith constituency; recognises, with its determination to seek to enhance Scottish football at all levels, the work of the Scottish Football Supporters Association (SFSA) by initiating, coordinating and publishing a fan-led review of the game in Scotland, titled Rebuilding Scottish Football: A Fan Led Review of The Game in Scotland, which was published in June 2023; notes that the SFSA-sponsored review includes recommendations for strengthening and extending the role of football as a sport that is accessible to all in the population who wish to engage and participate, as a major cultural industry for the nation, as a means for encouraging positive social change, and as a source of substantial individual and community benefit especially in relation to physical and mental wellbeing; further notes the issues raised in the fan-led review and the belief that there are shared merits to considering these on a collaborative, cross-party basis with stakeholders, and, in particular, with the Scottish Football Association (SFA) and Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL); notes the key recommendation of the fan-led review that the governance, finance and conduct of Scottish football would benefit from independent scrutiny and, as necessary, appropriate regulation, which it believes is being undertaken in England and discussed within and amongst football communities worldwide, and further notes the calls urging the Scottish Government to formally consult on the future development of Scottish football, including its oversight and governance, for the benefit of the continued enhancement of Scottish football.
