The motion

That the Parliament offers its deepest sympathies following the passing of, Billy Kirkwood, the Wishaw barber; understands that Billy began his hairdressing career in 1949 following his National Service in the RAF and that he is estimated to have carried out over 500,000 haircuts at John Gray Hairdressing, where he worked alongside his uncle John, before hanging up his scissors in 1999; further understands that Billy was a member and regular attender at St Mark’s Church in Coltness, a member of Houldsworth Bowling Club and an enthusiastic Motherwell FC supporter; recognises the work of the staff at Netherton Court Care Home for what it sees as their attentive care of him, and sends condolences to his family and friends.
