As an amendment to motion S3M-02779 in the name of Tavish Scott (The Importance of HBOS to the Scottish Economy and Jobs), leave out from first “considers” to end and insert “reaffirms the importance of the financial sector to the Scottish economy; notes that the boards of both Lloyds TSB and Halifax Bank of Scotland remain in favour of the merger and that shareholders will soon have the opportunity to vote on the proposal, and believes that decisions on the future of individual institutions should be made by shareholders, not politicians.”
