Scotland’s Future - Amendment
- Submitted by: Jackson Carlaw, Eastwood, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
- Date lodged: Tuesday, 28 January 2020
- Motion reference: S5M-20615.1
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 29 January 2020
As an amendment to motion S5M-20615 in the name of Nicola Sturgeon (Scotland’s Future), leave out from "the sovereign right" to end and insert "that the sovereign right of the people of Scotland was exercised in 2014 when more than two million people voted to reject independence; agrees with the cross-party Smith Commission report published after the 2014 referendum and backed by the UK Government that 'nothing in this report prevents Scotland becoming an independent country in the future should the people of Scotland so choose'; recognises, however, that the 2014 referendum was rightly described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that it is incumbent on all parties to abide by its result; calls on the Scottish Government to abandon its obsession with a second independence referendum; expects the Scottish Ministers to devote their energies to, and to use their parliamentary time to debate, matters of devolved competence, such as health, education, transport and the economy in Scotland, and regrets that yet again the Scottish Government has chosen to debate the constitution instead of the failures in Scottish public services for which it is responsible."
