Merchant Navy Day
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes Merchant Navy Day, which took place on 3 September 2016; pays tribute to the personnel who supplied the UK and gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars; considers that this is an opportunity to raise public awareness of the contribution made by modern day merchant seafarers, who are responsible for 95% of UK imports; is pleased that councils across Scotland flew the Red Ensign on the day; recognises the success of Merchant Navy Day, which was introduced in 2000, and hopes that it will continue to celebrate an industry so crucial to Scotland’s economy.
