The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the winners of the 2013-14 English-Speaking Union (ESU) Juniors' Debating Competition final, Elizabeth Groom and Victoria Groom from Mearns Castle High School in Newton Mearns; is aware that the final was held in the Parliament on 10 June 2014 where the motion debated was This House Would Introduce a Tax on Fatty Foods; congratulates the teams from the other three schools that participated in the final, the Mary Erskine School in Edinburgh, Morrison’s Academy in Crieff and the High School of Dundee; commends all those pupils from schools across Scotland who took part in the earlier stages of the competition and the teachers supporting them, and pays tribute to what it considers the excellent work of ESU Scotland in promoting debating among young people across the country, allowing them to develop skills that are important, valuable and rewarding.
