Scottish Executive Funding For Auschwitz Visits
EDM number 146 in 2008-09, proposed by Pete Wishart on 04/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Devolution and Schools.
That this House warmly welcomes the announcement by the Scottish Government to provide £214,000 in order to guarantee the future of visits to Auschwitz for Scottish school pupils; notes that this is the first time that any Scottish administration has guaranteed funding for these Auschwitz trips; believes that these visits are important in giving Scottish school students a powerful and emotional experience in learning the lessons from the holocaust; is disappointed in the way that several Labour hon. Members chose to play politics with this sensitive issue; and hopes that the whole House will congratulate the Scottish government in providing this funding and for supporting this valuable initiative.
This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
