Actions to Deliver a Sustainable Economic Growth

That the Parliament supports the Scottish Government’s approach to supporting output and employment now through a focus on boosting capital investment, taking direct action to tackle unemployment and enhancing economic confidence; calls on the UK Government to acknowledge that its response is not working and a failure to secure growth in the UK economy is threatening its fiscal consolidation programme; calls on the UK Government to provide a stimulus to capital investment to support infrastructure and growth in the economy, and welcomes the actions being pursued to deliver the priorities in The Government Economic Strategy, linked clearly to the Programme for Government and the forthcoming budget, in order to create the conditions for sustained growth in the private sector, investment in public services and ensuring that there are opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish.
