As an amendment to motion S6M-19252 in the name of Russell Findlay (Stopping Illegal Immigration and Recognising its Impact on Housing), insert at end "; believes that the Scottish Government’s suspension of local connection rules has placed unsustainable pressure on housing and public services in certain communities; notes that Scotland faces a housing emergency exacerbated by poor planning, underinvestment and a failure to meet housebuilding targets; calls for a homelessness policy that ensures that support is targeted towards those with lawful residence and genuine need, and urges the Scottish Government to prioritise housing delivery, restore local connection criteria and ensure that immigration policy does not undermine the availability of homes for citizens in Scotland."
