That the Parliament notes the Pakistani Parliament’s recently adopted draft resolution voicing opposition to the suggestion that Pakistan should become militarily involved in the conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia; welcomes Pakistan’s call for all factions to resolve their differences peacefully, and hopes that this tense situation in the Middle East can be resolved with minimal bloodshed.
That the Parliament notes the recent concerns raised by local businesses in Mallaig after Network Rail issued a six-week ban on the licence of the Lancashire-based operator, West Coast Railways; considers that West Coast Railways’ The Jacobite steam train service is an extremely important contributor to the economy of Mallaig and its surrounding area; understands that this ban was imposed after one of West Coast Railways’ trains ran through a red light; considers that Network Rail is right to have emphasised the importance of railway safety, but hopes that a solution can be found sooner rather than later so that Mallaig’s local economy will not be negatively affected.
