That this House commends the role of the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue team, and its team leader Willie Anderson, for its hard work on the Cairngorm mountain; notes particularly the selfless actions of fellow walkers Rachel Turner of Edinburgh and Phil Dawson of Manchester who recently helped, in white-out conditions, to rescue Robert and Cathy Elmer who were trapped on the mountain overnight with zero visibility; recognises the invaluable contribution made by Mountain Rescue volunteer teams across the nations; and thanks those teams for their on-going work.
