Scotland's Finances and the Cost of Living

As an amendment to motion S6M-08686 in the name of Michael Marra (Scotland's Finances and the Cost of Living), leave out from "failed" to end and insert "balanced budgets, unqualified accounts and, since 2018, the most progressive income tax system in the UK; considers that this is in stark contrast to the decade of austerity that Scotland has faced from successive UK governments; recognises that the Scottish Government has worked constructively with Audit Scotland, the Scottish Fiscal Commission and the Scottish Parliament’s Finance and Constitution Committee to improve the budgetary process and parliamentary scrutiny of Scotland’s finances, and calls on the Scottish Government to continue to prioritise openness, transparency and competence in the management of Scotland’s finances."
