The motion

That the Parliament congratulates all of the participants in the Donald Dewar Debating Tournament final 2011; considers that the teams from Braes High School in Falkirk, Glenalmond College in Perth, Kirkcudbright Academy in Kirkcudbright and Stewart’s Melville College in Edinburgh were a credit to their schools, families and communities; recognises the achievement of Mari McGinlay and Blair Wilson from Braes High School, Ruairidh Macintosh and Andrew Niven from Stewart Melville's College, Simon Boendermaker and Marcus Buist from Glenalmond College and Helen Smith and Max Syed-Tollan from Kirkcudbright Academy in making the final, and applauds them all for the high calibre of debating, which, it considers, would no doubt have made the man whom the tournament is named after very proud.
