  • Submitted by: Neil Gray, Airdrie and Shotts, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 17 April 2023
  • Motion reference: S6M-08604
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 19 April 2023

That the Parliament recognises the need to create a wellbeing economy that is democratic, works for people and planet, and supports communities to fulfil their potential; believes that such an economy must be equitable, sustainable and dynamic in order to address the climate crises, the current financial and economic challenges, and to deliver a just transition to net zero, reduce child poverty and enhance public services; notes that plans to expand childcare support and implement the National Strategy for Economic Transformation and the Just Transition Plans will deliver new opportunities for communities, businesses and individuals across Scotland; considers that the development of community wealth building legislation will be a key component of the approach to local and regional economic development and empowerment, will promote and sustain fair work, create and retain more wealth within communities, build Scotland’s tax base, strengthen its economic resilience, increase wellbeing for current and future generations and support the delivery of high-quality public services, and recognises that independence would allow Scotland to make greater progress, but, until then, calls for the devolution of additional powers, in relation to energy, the economy and employment law, to the Scottish Parliament to support Scotland's transition to a wellbeing economy.
