Martyn Day MSP Makes Maiden Speech in Scottish Parliament

Martyn Day MSP this week made his maiden speech in the Scottish Parliament during a debate on Wealth Taxation and Public Services.

Speaking for the first time in Scotland’s national Parliament as the MSP for Falkirk East and Linlithgow, Martyn reflected on the privilege of representing the constituency he is proud to call home and thanked local people for placing their trust in him at the election.

During the speech, he paid tribute to his predecessors Fiona Hyslop, Michelle Thomson and Michael Matheson, noting that between them they brought more than six decades of parliamentary experience and public service to the communities that now make up Falkirk East and Linlithgow.

Contributing to the debate on wealth taxation, Martyn argued that those with the broadest shoulders should make a fair contribution towards funding the public services on which communities rely, while recognising the need to support economic growth and investment.
