*S1M-751# Trish Godman: Houses in Multiple Occupation-That the Parliament deplores the damage inflicted on housing stock in communities such as Port Glasgow by the increase in the number of properties in multiple occupation; is aware of the exploitation of the tenants living in such circumstances by greedy and uncaring landlords, and believes that legislation should be initiated that will enable authorities to (a) restrict the conversion of properties into houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) in order to establish a better balance in the employment of housing stock and (b) regulate closely the management of existing HMOs in the interests of the tenants.

*S1M-750# Gordon Jackson: Govan Shipyard-That the Parliament notes that the BAE Systems Govan shipyard is in the running for a major order to build roll-on roll-off ferries for the Ministry of Defence; recognises that this order will guarantee work for up to five years and allow the yard to take on apprentices for the first time in three years; praises the yard's strong reputation for Clyde built quality as the major employer at the heart of Govan; acknowledges that this order is vital to secure the yard's future for its skilled and dedicated workforce; understands the equal importance of the order for the sister yard at Scotstoun as outfitter, and expresses total support for the Govan shipyard in bidding for this order and future work.

*S1M-749# Mr Kenny MacAskill: CERT Edinburgh-That the Parliament recognises the ongoing delays and difficulties faced by the City of Edinburgh Rapid Transit (CERT) plan and also the significant public investment required for the scheme; notes the Network Management Statement by Railtrack Scotland and the call by the Cockburn Association for a further examination of the scheme, and calls for a suspension of the CERT project pending a re-examination of both it and the creation of a rail link to Edinburgh Airport, including a re-routing of the Edinburgh-Glasgow and Edinburgh-Fife lines for infrastructure improvements to the benefit of both the City of Edinburgh and Scotland as a whole.

*S1M-748# Helen Eadie: Rail Freight Development-That the Parliament applauds the efforts of the Minister for Transport and the Environment, Sarah Boyack MSP, in her activities promoting, encouraging and funding actions to move freight from road to rail; further applauds the efforts of everyone involved in the rail industry in the partnership efforts to maximise rail freight developments; notes that there are constraints in the rail network on the development of this work and invites Railtrack to submit to members of the Scottish Parliament a report detailing each "pinch" point, railway bridge or tunnel that prevents the usage of nine foot six inch rail container wagons on key strategic routes affecting freight trains from Scotland to Felixstowe and Southampton.
