S4M-03078.3

As an amendment to motion S4M-03078 in the name of John Swinney (The Implications for the Scottish Economy of the Current Eurozone Situation), insert at end "; further recognises and regrets the impact of austerity measures without accompanying growth on ordinary people and families in Scotland and across Europe; regrets that the Scottish Government has not done more to stimulate growth using the powers entirely at its own disposal including, for example, its failure to make best use of procurement for the Forth Replacement Crossing as well as the delay to a number of other investment projects, and does not believe that leaving the United Kingdom would improve the Scottish economy, particularly given the lack of clarity on the issue of currency."
