Section F – Motions and Amendments
Motions and amendments are normally printed the day after they are lodged. If an amendment is lodged to a motion then the original motion will appear alongside the amendment, along with any support lodged that day, in this section.
Each Monday, this section also contains all motions and amendments lodged the previous week that are still live and any motions and amendments that have been lodged for debate in the coming week. A motion or amendment is live if it has not been debated, withdrawn or otherwise deleted from the list.
Where a motion or amendment has been withdrawn, it is indicated in this section the day after it has been withdrawn. Support for motions and amendments received after they are lodged is shown at the end of this section the day after such support is received.
Motions and amendments can be published with various symbols:
Asterisks before the motion or amendment number indicate a motion or amendment published for the first time;
Asterisks also identify alterations to the text of a motion or amendment made since it was first published;
A hash symbol identifies motions eligible for debate at Members’ Business;
A diamond symbol identifies motions lodged for Members’ Business that have not yet attracted the required cross-party support;
An "R", identifies motions or amendments in which the Member who lodged it has a registrable interest.
The Parliamentary Bureau periodically deletes motions or amendments not scheduled for debate and which are over six weeks old.
A search facility is also available on the Scottish Parliament web site at http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx.
Any questions in relation to this section should be directed to the Chamber Desk, for which contact details are provided at the end of the Bulletin.

New and altered motions and amendments
*S4M-07926 Margaret Mitchell: Proposed Changes to Public Counter Opening Times—That the Parliament notes the changes to public counter opening times proposed by Police Scotland; recognises the concerns of local residents where there is a proposed reduction in public counter hours or the public counter service is to be removed completely; appreciates the importance that people place on being able to access their local police station and believes that public counter facilities are vital in maintaining a connection with local people and in serving the community; welcomes the comment from Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Mawson, encouraging feedback from the public, elected members and the voluntary sector but understands that the proposals were initially only subject to consultation with staff; believes that a wider public consultation is more appropriate as it considers that police counters are an important service that the public use and pay for and their views are entitled to be heard on this issue but is concerned that the proposals are not being made available in print format for those members of the public without access to the internet; considers that Police Scotland should consider what can be done to encourage local residents to make a greater use of counter services to interact with the police to report crime and provide local intelligence instead of looking to close service counters or reduce their hours; further notes that the public can report a crime using the 101 non-emergency number but understands that calls to this line cost a flat rate of 15p per call and that, in addition to this, there have been concerns raised about calls to the 101 line going unanswered, and encourages members of the public to participate in this consultation to express the importance and value of face-to-face interaction with their local police.

*S4M-07922 Sandra White: Glasgow Kelvin goes from Strength to Strength—That the Parliament welcomes the announcement of more than 1,000 new jobs to be created by the French company, Teleperformance, the bulk of which are to be based in the Glasgow Kelvin constituency; considers that this is a major vote of confidence in the Scottish economy; understands that Teleperformance‘s latest investment takes its workforce in Scotland to over 4,000; further understands that the jobs boost has been secured thanks to a £2.9 million regional selective assistance investment to enable the company‘s expansion, and believes that this investment is a clear indicator that, on achieving independence, Scotland will gain the job creating powers that will enable a more prosperous country to be built, allowing many more jobs to be created and secured in the years to come.
Supported by: Nigel Don*, Stuart McMillan*, Bill Kidd*, Dennis Robertson*, Adam Ingram*, Christina McKelvie*, Annabelle Ewing*, Kenneth Gibson*, Colin Beattie*, Rob Gibson*, Fiona McLeod*, Kevin Stewart*
*S4M-07921 Sandra White: The University of Glasgow Confirmed as World Class—That the Parliament congratulates the University of Glasgow on rising 22 places in the Times Higher Education university world rankings; understands that by using 13 performance indicators to examine a university‘s strengths in areas such as
15
the quality of its teaching, research and international outlook, the University of Glasgow is now ranked as the 117th best university in the world; notes that the university is also joined by the universities of St Andrews, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee in the rankings, which, it understands, confirms Scotland as having more universities, per head of the population, in the top 200 list than any other country; considers that this was achieved as a result of a tuition fee free system that enables the most talented students to apply to universities, regardless of financial status, and wishes all staff and students at the University of Glasgow continued success.

*S4M-07920 Marco Biagi: Cameron’s Attack on Young People—That the Parliament condemns unreservedly the proposals outlined by David Cameron to cut benefits for under-25s; believes that in a time of widespread youth unemployment across Europe, the suggestion that young people are choosing a life on benefits rather than seeking employment is fundamentally inaccurate; further believes that extending restrictions of the ability of under-25s to access the welfare state on the same terms as other adults is a vilifying measure that would be economically and socially damaging, and believes that the Prime Minister should reconsider any plans to balance the UK budget at the expense of younger citizens.
Supported by: Sandra White*
*S4M-07916 Jim Hume: Congratulations to Borders Pet Rescue—That the Parliament congratulates the staff and volunteers at the recently relaunched Borders Pet Rescue, in Earlston, on what it sees as their hard work and dedication in rehoming dogs, cats and other small animals; understands that, in recent years, it has reported an increase in the number of cases that it deals with; believes that it plays a key role in looking after the welfare of animals in the Borders in need of a new home; considers that its success has only been achieved thanks to the hard work of its staff and volunteers and generous donations and support from the public, and wishes its manager, Helen Bastin, and her team, well for the future.
Supported by: Nigel Don*, Sandra White*
*S4M-07915 David Stewart: Congratulations to ILM Highland—That the Parliament congratulates ILM Highland on gaining Level 4 Scottish Qualifications Authority Waste Management diplomas; believes that it is the first company in the country to do so; understands that, every year, the firm deals with approximately 60,000 units of electronic or electrical waste and that this work prevents around 2,250 tonnes going back into circulation, and hopes that the company continues to enjoy success with what it sees as its noble and energy-saving work.

*S4M-07914 Elaine Smith: Celebrating 40 Years of St Patrick’s Primary School—That the Parliament congratulates St Patrick‘s Primary School in Coatbridge on reaching its 40th anniversary; understands that, since it opened, St Patrick‘s has been a top achieving school and is well established in the Coatbridge community as a centre that provides excellent teaching and opportunities for all pupils; notes that a celebratory mass will take place to mark the occasion, and wishes St Patrick‘s Primary School another 40 years of educational success.

*S4M-07913 Aileen McLeod: Congratulating NonaLou’s Tearoom—That the Parliament notes the success of Seonaid Frew and Louise Henderson of NonaLou‘s Tearoom in Dumfries at the Prince‘s Trust Youth Business Awards, at which they were awarded Young Entrepreneur of the Year in the Dumfries and Galloway Regional Finals; understands, that since NonaLou‘s Tearoom opened in the former St Andrew‘s Primary School building in Dumfries in May 2012, it has become well known for the quality of the local produce that it offers; notes that NonaLou‘s now has an online presence at www.theoldschooldumfries.com; congratulates the young entrepreneurs on winning what it considers this prestigious award, and wishes them every success in the future.

*S4M-07910 Kezia Dugdale: Save our Stations Campaign—That the Parliament notes Police Scotland‘s review of public counter services; understands that over 65 police stations face closure and many more, reduced services; notes that these include three stations in the Edinburgh Eastern constituency, which is represented by Kenny MacAskill MSP, the Cabinet Secretary for Justice; is concerned that these changes are driven by a desire to save £60 million rather than to improve policing; understands that this will lead to additional cuts on top of the 1,200 support staff jobs already lost across the police estate; considers that these changes will place a hurdle between communities and their local police services; recalls the cabinet secretary‘s reassurances on 27 June 2012 that ―single services are the best way to protect frontline policing‖; considers that the review‘s proposals shatter that position, and supports the Edinburgh Evening News in its campaign, Save our Stations.

*S4M-07903 Drew Smith: World Day Against the Death Penalty—That the Parliament notes that 10 October 2013 is the 11th World Day Against the Death Penalty; welcomes what it sees as the progress that is being made worldwide toward
17
abolishing this cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment that violates people‘s human rights; notes with concern that a number of countries are still carrying out executions, including the top five executing countries of China, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the USA; considers that countries that execute the most are also the ones where there are serious concerns about the fairness of the justice system, such as in China where, it understands, more people are executed than anywhere else in the world, and many death sentences follow convictions based on confessions obtained under torture, *such as* in Iran and Iraq, and recognises and welcomes the work being done by Amnesty International members in Scotland and across the world in highlighting these issues and campaigning against the death penalty.
