The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the recognition of World Plumbing Day on 11 March 2014; notes that this annual event was first initiated by the World Plumbing Council, serving as a day to recognise the important role that plumbing plays in the health and safety of modern society; considers that, in a time in which being able to supply safe drinking water is a concern for people across the world, the plumbing industry serves a crucial role in alleviating this concern and keeping the people of Scotland and the rest of the world safer and healthier than they would be without the industry’s services; applauds the Scottish and Northern Ireland Plumbing Employers’ Federation for its promotion of the message of World Plumbing Day through various activities and presentations throughout primary schools in order to further the understanding of links between water, plumbing and public health; recognises the societal benefits that the plumbing industry continues to provide for Scotland and the world as a whole, and accordingly acknowledges this day of commemoration.
