motion text That this House condemns the Bahraini authorities' torture, sexual assault, ill-treatment and unfair trials of women targeted for politically-motivated charges; deplores the assault of Hajer Mansoor, Medina Ali and Najah Yusuf in September 2018, led by the head of Bahrain's Isa Town Women's Detention Centre, Major Mariam Albardoli; highlights that the incident occurred soon after the cases of the three women were raised by this Parliament and the UN; voices discontent for their repeated denial of religious participation; condemns the increasing restrictions on family visits, telephone calls and allocated time outside the cell imposed on all inmates since the assault, which are in contravention of the UN standard minimum rules for the treatment of prisoners; expresses serious concern for the pattern of reprisals adopted by the prison authorities to retaliate against political prisoners who expose their abuse; further expresses dismay that Ms Mansoor, Ms Ali and Ms Yusuf felt compelled to launch a hunger strike, which they ended due to a critical deterioration in their health; asserts that reprisals against Ms Mansoor also occurred in July 2018 following international criticism over her case; emphasises the UN Secretary-General’s concerns for the ongoing trend of harassment and intimidation of Bahrain's civil society who cooperate with the UN; condemns the Bahraini oversight bodies that have received UK-funded training for their systematic cover-up of abuses occurring in Isa Town Prison; urges the Government to sanction those responsible, including Major Albardoli; and calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners.

motion text That this House welcomes the Refill Scheme, a national tap water campaign which identifies registered refill stations where members of the public can fill up a reusable bottle with free tap water in order to reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles; notes that, in the UK, 11,000 plastic bottles per minute end up in landfill or as litter, often finding their way into our oceans and damaging our marine environment; welcomes the introduction of the free Refill app which allows users to quickly identify refill stations in their locality and allows public places, shops, restaurants and businesses to register as a refill station; congratulates the Dunfermline and West Fife constituency which already has 35 refill stations registered on the app and growing, in no small part thanks to promotion of the scheme by the Plastic-Free Dunfermline group; and encourages other organisations across the UK to sign up for the scheme and help reduce the use of single-use plastic in our environment. more like this

motion text That this House welcomes and supports the environmental charity Fidra and its vision of a sustainable society; congratulates Fidra on its work in tackling single use plastics highlighted by its successful campaign to end the manufacture and sale of plastic cotton buds in the UK; recognises Fidra's pragmatic and proportionate responses to environmental issues identified and understood through best available science; supports Fidra's delivery of high impact projects which include preventing plastic pollution from pre-production plastic pellets (nurdles), cotton buds and artificial turf, achieving transparency and traceability in Scottish salmon farming, and ending unnecessary use of chemicals of environmental concern such PFASs (per or poly fluorinated alkyl substances); notes Fidra achieves targeted and effective solutions through inclusive and collaborative dialogue with the public, industry and governments; and urges this Government to take robust measures to implement the waste hierarchy (reduce, re-use, recycle), a precautionary approach to potentially hazardous substances, and the polluter pays principle.

motion text That this House notes with concern that UK armed forces personnel are being forced to wait for their full pay increase to be implemented due to a glitch with the Ministry of Defence payroll system; understands that the MoD agreed to implement the 2.9 per cent pay increase, as recommended by the Armed Forces Pay Review Body to address low morale and recruitment issues, in two parts, with 0.9 per cent as a one-off bonus, but that their payroll system has been unable to deliver this; believes that military personnel should not have to wait any longer for the financial reward they are entitled to and deserve; notes that the lowest paid armed forces service men and women resident in Scotland pay less income tax than their counterparts in England due to the Scottish Government's fairer and more progressive income tax policy; further notes that military personnel and their family members living in Scotland are able to take advantage of other benefits such as free prescriptions, free university tuition and lower Council Tax bills, helping to reduce the cost of living; calls upon the UK Government to introduce measures to compensate lower paid personnel who are now paying more tax than their Scottish-based counterparts while respecting the devolution settlement in Scotland; and urges the Government to resolve the technical issues surrounding the implementation of the agreed armed forces pay rise as speedily as possible.

motion text That this House welcomes the success of the recently established Rosyth Art Project; notes that the project was initiated to brighten up the town's public places and introduce splashes of colour to otherwise dull buildings and surfaces; understands that the colourful mural painted on an outbuilding on the town's main thoroughfare represents Rosyth as a Garden City, depicting its sporting ambition, community garden, honey bees, floral displays, creativity, industrial heritage and waterside location; admires the vivid and eye-catching Rosyth Community Hub frontage displaying a painted medley of fruit and vegetables; notes that other local businesses have now requested personalised art for their own shop frontages; congratulates Lindsay Bennett, illustration student at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, on leading the project and encouraging local schoolchildren to take part, making it a real community effort; and wishes the project continued success in making Rosyth a more attractive and welcoming place for residents and visitors alike.

motion text That this House is appalled by the decision of the US Administration to end its funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which amounts to a reduction of nearly a third of UNRWA's operating budget; believes that such a move takes the Middle East further away from peace and is part of an unprecedented attempt to undermine the international legal consensus on the protected status of Palestinian refugees; notes that across Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, around six million Palestinian refugees are registered with UNRWA and reaffirms their status as such; is concerned that this funding decision will critically endanger UNRWA's ability to continue providing vital services, including health care and social services as well as education for well over 500,000 refugee children; and calls on the Government to work with international partners to fill the funding gap left by the US Administration and ensure that vital front-line services are not put at risk by this reckless unilateral withdrawal of support.
