Scotland's Economy

As an amendment to motion S4M-07734 in the name of John Swinney (Scotland's Economy), leave out from "notes" to end and insert “believes that the Scottish Government must act now to secure what is a fragile economic recovery and ensure a secure sustainable future in which all can share fairly; notes the importance that the Scottish Government’s Fiscal Commission Working Group places on retaining key elements of the social and economic union, including sterling and a single central bank, as well as the 'significant and complex linkages between households, businesses and financial services operating across the UK', and recognises that the greatest economic potential for Scotland and its people lies with a strong, devolved Parliament using every power at its disposal, including new tax and borrowing powers and maximising the opportunity of shared risk and reward in the United Kingdom.”
