Internal Market: Amendment 3

  • Submitted by: Dean Lockhart, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party
  • Date lodged: Monday, 17 August 2020
  • Motion type: Amendment
  • Motion reference: S5M-22437.3
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 18 August 2020

As an amendment to motion S5M-22437 in the name of Michael Russell (Internal Market), leave out from "UK Government" to end and insert "Scottish Government to engage constructively with the UK Government on all legislative and other measures being undertaken to safeguard the integrity of the UK internal market, while also safeguarding the powers of devolved administrations to pursue competent policy divergence; understands concerns that any barriers to trade between Scotland and the rest of the UK internal market would be detrimental for jobs, businesses, consumers and citizens across Scotland, given that over 60% of Scotland’s trade is with the rest of the UK and that over 550,000 jobs in Scotland are directly supported by this trade, and recognises that it is vital to secure Scotland’s trade with the rest of the UK in light of the unprecedented economic crisis caused by COVID-19."
