04/10/2019 | 12:14:55 I'm grateful Madam President. And I rise today to discuss two aspects from my own constituency, but which have European, and indeed worldwide, repercussions. The first is to talk about a young person Erin CAMPBELL. Erin is a parliamentarian in the Scottish Youth Parliament. And Erin has led a social media campaign known as "#KeepInMind". The campaign was set up to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and to encourage young people to open up a conversation about it. One in four people... 04/10/2019 | 11:51:24 I'm very grateful and thank you And, first of all, can I congratulate everyone who's contributed today in this debate.

The rapporteur Mr STROE was held back by his parliamentary obligations in Romania today and the draft resolution was approved in committee unanimously in June, and yesterday the... 04/10/2019 | 10:12:48 I'm very grateful President, And I welcome this report and also the hard work of the rapporteur in composing it. This began back as a report in January 2018 when my colleague Angela SMITH and others put forward a motion based on the work that the Foundation for Jewish History had done in identifying, cataloguing, mapping the various synagogues and other historic buildings across Europe. And I stand here as a representative from East Lothian in Scotland, where as a constituency we've always...
