Scottish Parliament community visit to Western Isles 3/2/13
The Scottish Parliament will be holding a number of community-outreach sessions in
the Western Isles this month.
The events focus on how the parliament works and how anyone can get involved. This
will include information about the public petitions process, which allows people
from across Scotland to petition their Parliament about the issues which matter to
them.
The Parliament Day aims to take the Parliament out of Edinburgh. It allows people
to see the Parliament at work, be it ‘official’ Parliamentary business, or on a less
formal level.
It also provides an opportunity for people to meet everyone involved with the Parliament:
Members, the Presiding Officer and the staff and aims to inspire local people to
take an interest in and engage directly in the work of the Parliament.
