WEARING OF SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL DRESS AT CAMBRIDGE GRADUATION CEREMONIES

Early day motion 1014, tabled 4 April 2005 by Michael Weir (Scottish National Party). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes with concern the decision by Cambridge University to ban national dress from graduation ceremonies; further notes that this includes restrictions on the wearing of the kilt, Scotland's national dress; believes that the kilt has graced far greater stages than the Cambridge graduation ceremony; and calls on the University to reverse its decision with immediate effect.
