UK Shared Prosperity Fund – What This Means for Scotland - Amendment

  • Submitted by: Daniel Johnson, Edinburgh Southern, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 01 March 2022
  • Motion reference: S6M-03393.2
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 02 March 2022

As an amendment to motion S6M-03393 in the name of Richard Lochhead (UK Shared Prosperity Fund – What This Means for Scotland), leave out from "agrees" to end and insert "recognises that the UK Government’s proposed arrangements for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund circumvent the devolved settlement; notes that there are increasing regional inequalities across Scotland, including in health, child poverty, income and economic opportunities, which neither the UK Government nor the Scottish Government is adequately tackling; regrets that Scotland’s progress in closing the gap in productivity levels with the UK average has been halted during the last decade; understands that the voluntary sector has highlighted the potential loss of funding compared with previous years and has called for certainty around funding and delivery; notes that both the Scottish and UK governments have a record of centralising control and decision-making on the delivery of funding, and believes that decisions around addressing regional inequalities are best made in the regions and communities where support is needed; calls, therefore, for the Scottish Government to deliver adequate funding for local authorities, and further calls for the UK and Scottish governments to work together constructively to take the urgent action needed to address the regional inequalities in Scotland, and ensure that communities across Scotland receive the additional support and funding that they desperately need."
