Motion text
That this House recognises the success of the Highland Syrian refugee resettlement programme; notes that Highland communities have welcomed 23 families that endured the most horrific circumstances and ensured they are settled, safe, well and wanted in their new surroundings; acknowledges the welcome and the support local residents have given to their new neighbours; and thanks the third sector organisations that have arranged welcome parties, provided food and clothing, helped with transport and fostered social integration for those families.
