MSPs back campaign to bring QE2 cruise ship back to Clyde

A DOZEN MSPs have thrown their support behind a campaign to bring the cruise ship QE2 back to the Clyde.

Clydebank MSP Gil Paterson tabled a Parliamentary motion calling the ship an "icon of Scottish shipbuilding" and pledging support to the group behind the drive.

By noon yesterday, Mr Paterson's motion had been backed by 11 fellow MSPs and praised by the man leading calls to permanently moor the QE2 on Clydebank, where she was built at John Brown's yard more than 40 years ago.
