Scotland’s Economy, Opportunities for Growth

As an amendment to motion S5M-06045 in the name of Keith Brown (Scotland’s Economy, Opportunities for Growth), leave out from "that Scotland's economic" to end and insert "opportunities for growth in Scotland’s economy; welcomes the continued attractiveness of Scotland for inward investment; acknowledges the many challenges facing Scotland’s economy, including negative economic growth and low business confidence; considers that these can be addressed by the introduction of a more competitive tax system in Scotland and by the Scottish Government removing the uncertainty of a second referendum on independence; believes that Scotland can best achieve sustainable and inclusive growth, and increase innovation, investment and internationalisation through active cooperation and participation in a UK-wide industrial strategy, and supports the objectives of the UK Government in achieving the maximum possible access to the European single market while maximising the opportunities afforded by fostering stronger trading relationships with the rest of the world.''
