Thanking Emergency Services Following Bonfire Night

Lodged by Jeremy Balfour Standard Motion 26 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament thanks the emergency services in Lothian for their hard work over the weekend of the 5 November 2022; understands that bonfire night represents one of their busiest of the year due to a reported increase in antisocial behaviour; condemns the reported targeting of emergency services by those engaging in antisocial behaviour; considers that action must be taken to ensure that emergency services can perform their duties safely and without being harassed; believes that the Scottish Government must do all that it can to limit the number of cases where fireworks are used in antisocial and dangerous ways; calls on anyone who is celebrating using fireworks to do so in a safe and responsible manner, and reiterates its thanks to all those working to keep communities safe.
