Censure and Apology on the Anniversary of the Chinese Agreement

As an amendment to motion S5M-04919 in the name of Willie Rennie (Censure and Apology on the Anniversary of the Chinese Agreement), insert at end “; recognises that inward investment can be a beneficial part of a broad economic development and growth strategy for Scotland; acknowledges the concern about the record of the companies party to the memorandum of understanding with the Scottish Government; regrets that the Scottish Government did not fully inform the public about this deal; believes that public funds and investment agreements with companies that do not pay their workers fairly or pay their fair share of taxes are wrong, and calls on the Scottish Government to develop a transparent approach to attracting investment to Scotland, which provides added value by creating jobs.”
