Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 June 2026

Debate

Pride in Place Programme

Contribution

Let me congratulate the volunteer-led Darvel Improvement Group, to which my hon. Friend refers, for securing £200,000 from the Pride in Place impact fund. She is right to recognise that the world owes an immeasurable debt to Sir Alexander Fleming, and it is entirely right that his birthplace in Darvel stands at the heart of celebration of his truly monumental scientific achievement.
