Protecting Public Services

As an amendment to motion S5M-09888 in the name of James Kelly (Protecting Public Services), leave out from "believes" to end and insert "acknowledges that the UK Parliament block grant to the Scottish Government is increasing in real terms from 2017-18 to 2018-19; notes that any spending cuts to local services are a choice by the Scottish Government, not a necessity, and calls on the Scottish Government to abandon its plans to raise income tax and instead deliver a Budget that will focus on growing Scotland's economy and tax base."
