The motion

That the Parliament expresses its sorrow over the recent fire at the Glasgow School of Art, which tragically destroyed the school’s iconic library; acknowledges that, without the careful and courageous efforts of the fire service, the damage could have been even greater; sympathises with all those affected, principally the staff, students and people of Glasgow who hold the Macintosh building close to their hearts; welcomes the commitment from the UK Government to make a significant financial contribution toward the cost of restoring “the Mac”; further welcomes the assistance pledged by the Scottish Government, including the Phoenix Scholarships, and looks forward to the Glasgow School of Art being restored to its former glory.
