PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
REFUGEES WELCOME TO PERTH AND KINROSS (11 February 2016)

That this House highlights the work carried out by the officers and elected members of Perth and Kinross Council in successfully welcoming families who have recently fled the conflict in Syria to seek a safer life in Scotland; acknowledges the hard work and dedication of a huge range of service providers, from psychologists to teachers and social workers, whose services will be vital in providing the life-changing support needed to successfully resettle these families safely in Scotland; and congratulates the organisers of the welcome event organised for refugee families at the Salutation Hotel in Perth on 28 January 2016 and all who attended for providing a warm and welcoming reception for all these refugees to their new home in Scotland.
