of people who have diabetes, with Diabetes UK continuing to support scientists with their

*S6M-02914 Martin Whitfield: Success of East Lothian’s High Streets—That the Parliament
notes the recent Financial Times analysis of data on how lockdowns and homeworking over the
past two years have affected high streets across the UK; understands that the analysis found that
the East Lothian local authority area has had the best performance in the UK, with shops reporting
a 12% rise in in-person spending across the whole period, since March 2020; congratulates and
thanks East Lothian’s high-street retailers for this success and what it sees as the resilience and
innovation they have shown throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and further congratulates East
Lothian residents for heeding the shop local message and for supporting local high streets and
businesses over the last two years, and East Lothian Council for what it sees as the advice and
support it has provided to businesses in the county before and during the pandemic, including the

*S6M-02913 Jenni Minto: Support for Public Service Broadcasting—That the Parliament
believes that public service broadcasting has an important role in society; considers that what it

concerning; believes that publicly-funded public service broadcasting gives an outlet and a
platform to a wide range of output on TV, radio, and online that would not otherwise have found a
home or an audience; understands that Scottish Ministers and the Scottish Parliament are meant
to have a role in any reviews of the BBC’s Charter; considers that, if the UK Government
disregards this process and continues with what it sees as threats to the BBC, it will be clear that
the UK Government has no respect for devolution or the views of the people of Scotland; believes
that publicly-funded public service broadcasting has an integral role in the creative economy, and
wishes to see a fair share of that investment come to Scotland, rather than see it be scrapped by
the UK Government.

to helping others, which included instructing thousands on how to deliver first aid and CPR,
volunteering as an ambulance driver in Alexandria and founding Leven First Aid, and believes that
local volunteers, like “Bob”, are the foundation rocks of society and that the next generation of
volunteers needs to be encouraged and trained on an ongoing basis.

Curling Teams, which are based at the National Curling Academy at the PEAK Leisure Centre in
