  • Motion reference: S6M-06640

That the Parliament expresses its solidarity with the Dundee Trades Union Council (DTUC) delegation, which is visiting Palestine from 2 to 9 November 2022; understands that the main purpose of the delegation is to sign a solidarity declaration between the workers of both Dundee and Nablus; further understands that the DTUC delegation will join with one from the Dundee Nablus Twinning Association and civic dignitaries to commemorate the life of Ernie Ross MP with a tree planting outside the Municipality Building; acknowledges that Dundee is reportedly the city with the longest twinning arrangement with a Palestinian city in the world having formally twinned in 1980, and commends what it sees as the long-standing commitment of DTUC and the Fire Brigade Union to Palestine, including the donations of fire appliances.
