Citizens’ Assembly of Scotland

As an amendment to motion S5M-18778 in the name of Michael Russell (Citizens’ Assembly of Scotland), leave out from "welcomes" to end and insert "regrets that the first opportunity taken by the Scottish Government is a citizens' assembly announced as a part of a package of measures to achieve Scottish independence, which was welcomed by SNP MPs as part of the route to independence, and notes that Scottish ministers have not agreed to abide by the recommendations of the assembly if it rejects Scottish independence."
