Commemorating the Life of John Maclean
The motion
That the Parliament commemorates the life of John Maclean, school teacher and social reformer born in Pollokshaws Burgh, which is now in the Glasgow Cathcart constituency; notes his life in education where he improved the life chances of his pupils until he was imprisoned on what were regarded as dubious charges of sedition; further notes his efforts to protect workers’ rights, his role in the Glasgow rent strikes and his call for peace during the First World War, and acknowledges John Maclean's role in bringing social progress and change to not only Pollokshaws, but to Glasgow, Scotland and the UK.
