Motion text

That this House deplores the recent decision by Tory controlled Stirling District Council to adopt the Trident submarine HMS 'Victorious'; notes that this decision was passed by the casting vote of the council's convener; believes that the town's affiliation with a weapon of mass destruction soils Stirling's image; and condemns the authority for failing to consult the local community for their opinions on the subject.

STIRLING DISTRICT COUNCIL AND THE HMS VICTORIOUS (Amendment 1)
leave out from 'convener' to end and add 'Keith Harding, who only holds his position after the cut of a pack of cards in this council with 10 Labour and 10 Conservative members; believes that the Council's daft decision to twin with a nuclear submarine is an insult to the sensible people of the district and to the excellent work on twinning done during the 1980 to 1992 period of Labour control; and condemns the Tories in the council for there stupid and ill-advised action.'.
