Supporting Scotland’s Economy

As an amendment to motion S4M-12776 in the name of Jackie Baillie (Supporting Scotland’s Economy), leave out from "the UK Government's plans" to end and insert "a return to volatile see-saw economics, which has the potential to cause great economic damage and divert the UK economy from the employment and economic growth achieved; therefore notes with great concern the Conservatives’ ideological drive to reduce the size of the state, recklessly cutting public services on one hand, and Labour and SNP plans to borrow more, repeating the mistakes of the past and indebting future generations, on the other; believes that the SNP's proposal to borrow £180 billion would put the hard-won economic recovery at great risk, and endorses the Liberal Democrats’ plans to balance the country’s books by 2018 and to use the benefits of the economic growth achieved by that plan to increase public expenditure in line with the economy, keeping Scotland and the UK on a steady path to prosperity.”
