Delivering Future Enterprise and Skills Support in Scotland – Phase One Outputs from the Enterprise and Skills Review

As an amendment to motion S5M-02099 in the name of Keith Brown (Delivering Future Enterprise and Skills Support in Scotland – Phase One Outputs from the Enterprise and Skills Review), insert at end ", and notes that, between 2008-09 and 2014-15, the combined spending of Scotland’s enterprise agencies fell by 12% in real terms; further notes that a continuation of the reduction of Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise budgets will prevent the realisation of these ambitions to improve the development of Scotland’s economy, and commits to an action plan that will set out clear targets and timescales for the delivery of the strategy that Audit Scotland has called for."
