Growing Scotland’s Economy

As an amendment to motion S7M-00290 in the name of Stephen Flynn (Growing Scotland’s Economy), insert at end “; notes that the Scottish Fiscal Commission has projected Scotland's ‘Tax base performance gap’ for 2026-27 to be £785 million while data shows that GDP increased by 8.4% between Q2 2014 and Q2 2024 for Scotland compared to 14.3% across the UK as a whole, and believes that understanding and addressing these gaps is imperative in order to grow jobs, wages and opportunities, as well as maximising revenue for funding public services in Scotland.”
