ST ANDREW'S DAY AND BRITAIN'S EMBASSIES
Early day motion 493, tabled 29 November 2001 by Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party). Signed by 12 members.
That this House regrets that only one British embassy out of 27 surveyed across Europe and North America - the embassy in Ireland - is doing anything to promote Scotland on St Andrew's Day; deplores this failure to represent Scottish interests on Scotland's National Day; and calls for St Andrew's Day to be designated a national public holiday in Scotland.
Signatures by party: Scottish National Party 5, Labour 3, Plaid Cymru 3, UUP 1.
