The motion

That the Parliament applauds the efforts of Kilmarnock FC to promote science education and support the local community while paying homage to its local history; understands that the football club has launched a new kit design, to be worn at away games, featuring penicillin’s chemical compound; further understands that the design will be used by the Killie Community team to educate local pupils about the revolutionary discovery by Kilmarnock Academy’s own Alexander Fleming in 1928; notes that Alexander Fleming won a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 for the discovery; further notes that a percentage of the revenue from the shirt sales will be donated to the club’s local charity partner, the Crosshouse Children’s Fund, which supports the treatment of babies, children and young adults across Ayrshire; commends Kilmarnock FC on its positive use of its platform, and wishes it all the best as the season begins.
