EASTERHOUSE AND CASTLEMILK

Early day motion 750, tabled 10 February 2009 by John Mason (Scottish National Party). Signed by 14 members.

That this House rejects the description of Easterhouse and Castlemilk as scummy estates by Fraser Nelson in The Spectator; condemns the use of sweeping and inaccurate descriptions to characterise any community; recognises that, while these areas have problems to overcome, great progress is being made; and encourages Mr Nelson, or anyone who shares his perceptions, to spend time in the east end of Glasgow and see at first hand the great achievements, regeneration and true community spirit that exists.

Signatures by party: Labour 6, Scottish National Party 5, Liberal Democrat 3.
