Happy to submit a parliamentary motion this week congratulating a group of young people from Lothians schools on making the Scottish National Debating Team. Well done to Lachlan White (George Watson’s College), Eoghan Connolly (Douglas Academy), Emma Bell (Broxburn Academy), Freddy Simonet-Lefevre (Craigmount High School) & Oscar Swire from (Stewart’s Melville College)

In addition, Emma is not only the first pupil at her school to make the team but is also only in S3, so best of luck to her and the team this coming year. And special thanks to the hard work of English-Speaking Union Scotland for bringing such a bright group of talented young people together. Read my parliamentary motion here.
