Motion · S6M-05550 · 27 Jul 2022

Eurovision Song Contest 2023

Lodged by Douglas Lumsden Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament regrets that the Russian invasion means that Ukraine is unable to host the Eurovision song contest in 2023, and that the UK will now host the contest instead; believes that Aberdeen, with its new, state-of-the-art, 15,000 capacity events complex, the largest in Scotland and just minutes from Aberdeen International Airport, would be best placed to host Eurovision 2023, and further believes that, as a vibrant city with a fantastic cultural offering, such as the award-winning Aberdeen Art Gallery, the recently upgraded Provost Skene House and the soon-to-be-opened Union Terrace Gardens, there would be no better location to showcase the best that Scotland has to offer.
