There is certainly growing talk of a so-called green new deal. If this potentially very deep recession leads to large-scale unemployment in the building sector—I understand that 40,000 jobs have already been lost in the sector in Scotland—and if the UK Government decides to increase expenditure in a Keynesian way to dig ourselves out of recession, there will be a huge opportunity to put those unemployed builders to work in retrofitting the housing stock.

The council should be allowed to come up with local solutions to local problems, but we share its commitment to putting resources back into the communities that are most blighted by crime.I hope that members will recognise that resources are not infinite—we are in a recession.

Coupled with those higher costs is the greater reliance on the car of people who live in rural areas, which do not have the same public transport infrastructure as urban areas.Last week's proposal by the chancellor to increase fuel duty by 2p a litre from September this year will put quite a big burden on our economy as we try to stem the tide of recession....
