That the Parliament notes that the Prison Officers Association (POA) Scotland recently held its annual conference in the Peebles Hydro; understands that the union's conference delegates and guests donated over 350 kg of food and a financial donation to the Peeblesshire food bank, which takes the total to over 900 kg in the last two years, and congratulates POA on this excellent initiative and its commitment to try to mitigate, where possible, food insecurity and poverty.
