UnknownThat the Parliament congratulates Slamannan Parish Church on the launch of its new food support provision, Martha’s Pantry, at the local community centre; understands that residents of Limerigg and Slamannan, in Falkirk, can access the service through a referral system or a once-a-week drop-in day; considers that it is important to have a food pantry in the Slamannan and Limerigg areas, which include rural communities within in the Falkirk district; recognises that the name, Martha’s Pantry, is derived from Martha in the New Testament Gospels, and is a direct reflection of her work whereby she was said to look after others, including cooking for them; considers that the launch of food banks and food provision services is not a service that should be needed, however, due to the cost of living crisis and increasing food prices, believes that they are currently deemed a necessity by many families throughout the UK; congratulates Slamannan Parish Church on the launch of its food support service, and wishes all involved well for their future endeavours.

Possible final motion text as originally lodged
This is a computer’s best guess at applying carried amendments to the original motion text. It uses simple text rules for phrases such as “insert at end”, “after X insert Y”, and “leave out from X to end and insert Y”. Treat it as an aid, not the official motion text.
