The motion

That the Parliament commends the vital work that the Citizens Advice service in Scotland is providing during the COVID-19 pandemic; notes that all 59 Citizens Advice Bureaux are offering vital advice and support by phone and email in place of face-to-face advice and that, during March 2020, almost 78,000 pieces of advice were provided; acknowledges that the numbers of new visitors to the public advice site are higher than this time last year and continue to grow, and thanks all frontline Citizens Advice staff who are continuing to provide free, confidential and independent advice across the country at this unprecedented time.
