Dave Thompson, former SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber, and Badenoch last week (22/03/16) spent his evening as the sponsor for the Scottish Young Consumer of the Year Final Quiz for 2016. This was his last event sponsorship at the Scottish Parliament prior to his standing down and it was opportune that this was to welcome socially-conscientious youth to partake in this prestigious competition.
Mr. Thompson said, “In this culture of consumerism, it is important to encourage knowledge of individual rights and responsibilities in our youth. This competition aims to help them learn their rights, and empowers them to stand up when these rights are compromised. I am proud to sponsor this event, my last at the Parliament, and encourage this critical thinking in future generations.
“I congratulate the winners of the 2016 Scottish Young Consumer Competition from Boroughmuir Academy and wish them luck as they go to London to compete in the UK Final in June.
“I would also like to congratulate the champions of the Highlands, Ullapool Academy, for their hard work and dedication to the competition. They represented the Highlands well, and I wish them better luck next year.
“All of the teams performed admirably in the competition and they should all be very proud in their accomplishments this year. I hope to see you return for next year’s Scottish Young Consumer of the Year Competition“.
