Motion text

That this House remembers John McNab, who tragically lost his life following a stabbing in Leith on 2nd September 2025; commends his mother, Lisa Petrie, for establishing the Not In Vain campaign in his memory; recognises the campaign's work is to increase access to emergency bleed control kits and training across local communities, with more than 100 bleed kits now distributed across Edinburgh and Leith; notes the potential of such kits to save lives following traumatic injuries; and welcomes efforts to install bleed kits in public spaces, schools, sports clubs and community venues.
