That the Parliament congratulates the charity, Docks and Piers Trust, on raising £40,000 to carry out the first phase of the reactivation work at Govan Dry Docks, which saw the dock emptied and works carried out on the gate; notes that the charity has also secured £25,000 to fund the next phase, which will include work on the culvert; understands that BAE systems is supporting the charity by providing the keel blocks for the dock by way of a gift, saving the charity £150,000 of its entire budget; acknowledges that the charity was formed in 2020 with the purpose of acquiring the historic docks and piers on the Clyde, with the aim of preserving and improving the structures so that they can be returned to operational condition, enabling the public to experience their heritage and historical significance; recognises that the charity is also interacting with local businesses and philanthropists, with a view to raising the remaining £85,000 needed to cover the cost of new fencing and pumps; notes that the charity has granted a licence to Govan Drydock Ltd to operate Dock No1 on its behalf when the dock reopens, and acknowledges that the budget to reactivate Dock No1 was set at £300,000 and that the charity signed a lease with its owner, Bishop Loch Development Scotland, in 2022.

Possible final motion text as originally lodged

No carried amendments applied

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.
