Priorities for Scotland

  • Submitted by: John Swinney, Perthshire North, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 01 September 2025
  • Motion reference: S6M-18671
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 02 September 2025

That the Parliament welcomes the Scottish Government’s continued focus on its four key priorities of eradicating child poverty, tackling the climate emergency, growing the economy, and ensuring high-quality and sustainable public services; recognises that the delivery of these priorities is within the significant constraints of a constitutional settlement that hampers achieving those priorities due to the policy decisions of UK Conservative and Labour administrations, and recognises that it is only by choosing independence that Scotland can get the fresh start that its people need and deserve.
