S6M-07614.1 Mark Griffin: Delivering the Homes Scotland Needs—As an amendment to motion S6M-07614 in the name of Miles Briggs (Delivering the Homes Scotland Needs), leave out from "expresses" to end and insert "urges the Scottish Ministers to remove local authorities’ liability for additional dwelling supplement when purchasing second hand and off-the-shelf homes, which risks councils’ ability to increase affordable stock; agrees that the UK Government’s disastrous mini-budget has vastly increased lending costs for owner occupiers, registered social landlords and investors in all housing tenures, exacerbating Scotland’s housing and cost of living crisis; believes that protections for tenants, and proposed changes to the Home Owners’ Support Fund Mortgage to Shared Equity scheme, which would reduce equity requirements and increase price thresholds to reflect true house values, are vital interventions to support people to stay in their homes during a cost of living crisis made worse by the UK Conservative administration; believes that urgent interventions are required to unlock the 67,152 empty and second homes across Scotland and return them to their primary purpose as residential dwellings; is disappointed that the Scottish Government missed its housebuilding target deadline by a year; is dismayed by the cuts to the housing budget in the Scottish Government’s proposed Budget 2023-24; notes with concern further declines in affordable housing approvals and starts in the year to September 2022, and calls on the Scottish Government to urgently prioritise the delivery of new homes, particularly for the social rent sector and in rural and remote areas." followed by Scottish Government Debate: Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill - UK Legislation Wednesday 25 January 2023 4 Today's Business Future Business Motions & Questions Legislation Other Gnothaichean an-diugh Gnothaichean ri teachd Gluasadan agus Ceistean Reachdas Eile Chamber | Seòmar S6M-07615 Màiri McAllan: Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill - UK Legislation— That the Parliament notes the legislative consent memorandum lodged by the Scottish Government on 12 December 2022;
