Motion · S6M-00788 · 29 Jul 2021

Recognising the Heroism of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution

Lodged by Maggie Chapman (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the heroic efforts of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in rescuing people at sea, particularly those fleeing war and persecution; understands what it believes is the pressure that the UK Government's so-called "hostile" immigration policies place on the services that it provides; considers that the climate and ecological crises will lead to further pressure on the lives and livelihoods of those in the Global South, and that safe routes need to be established for people seeking safety and asylum; notes that the RNLI is staffed by dedicated volunteers who put their lives on the line to rescue vulnerable people in danger and distress; recognises that the RNLI carries out its work without prejudice or judgement, and commends it for this work.
