  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 25 November 2025
  • Motion type: Amendment
  • Motion reference: S6M-19895.4
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 26 November 2025

As an amendment to motion S6M-19895 in the name of Craig Hoy (Growing Scotland’s Economy), leave out from “UK Budget” to end and insert “delivery of a successful Scottish economy depends on stability in the UK public finances and a long-term plan to invest for future growth; recognises the challenging global circumstances, including the continued threat of tariffs, which create uncertainty and risk deterring investment and dampening growth; notes with concern that lower earnings and employment growth in Scotland compared to the rest of the UK are reducing the impact of tax policy in Scotland; agrees with the Auditor General for Scotland that ‘the Scottish Government has not set out clearly enough how it plans to address this economic challenge in future years, and what this would do to support fiscal sustainability’, and calls on the Scottish Government to work in proper partnership with the UK Government to deliver stability, long-term growth and prosperity across Scotland.”
