Motion · S3M-05878 · 3 Mar 2010
Commemoration Statue for Tom Johnston
The motion
That the Parliament considers that the North of Scotland Hydro Electric Board (NOSHEB) brought valuable economic and social benefits to communities across the Highlands and Islands after it was set up in 1943; believes that, without the work of Tom Johnston, first as the wartime Secretary of State for Scotland and then as Chairman of NOSHEB, NOSHEB may well not have been established and almost certainly would not have had the enlightened social and economic outlook that brought so many benefits to the Highlands and Islands, and further believes that Tom Johnston should be commemorated by a statue overlooking one of the great hydro-electric schemes that were his legacy to the people of the Highlands and Islands and to Scotland so that future generations never forget what Scotland owes him.
