The motion

That the Parliament congratulates East Dunbartonshire Council’s catering team on achieving a Food for Life Served Here Bronze award for all 33 primary schools in the area; notes that this accomplishment was marked with a celebratory event on 13 December 2022, at Thomas Muir Primary School in Bishopbriggs, where pupils learnt all about where their Christmas lunches were grown; understands that the prestigious award, run by the Soil Association Scotland, is a nationally-recognised mark of food quality for school meals; recognises that local authorities who receive it have undergone a vigorous inspection process to ensure that the food served in their schools is good for pupils’ health, the environment and the local economy; believes that, as many families struggle with the cost of living crisis, school meals are increasingly important as a nutritional safety net for Scotland’s children, and applauds the hard work and dedication of East Dunbartonshire Council’s talented and professional catering team.
