- Submitted by: Donald Cameron, Highlands and Islands, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
- Date lodged: Monday, 26 June 2023
- Motion reference: S6M-09711.3
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 27 June 2023
As an amendment to motion S6M-09711 in the name of Angus Robertson (Building a New Scotland – The Constitution of an Independent Country), leave out from “welcomes” to end and insert “recognises that the people of Scotland voted decisively to remain within the United Kingdom in 2014 and that any discussion on a written constitution in an independent Scotland is both academic and hypothetical; deplores the announcement by the First Minister that the Scottish National Party will use the next General Election campaign as an attempt to hold another polarising vote on breaking up the United Kingdom; agrees that another divisive independence referendum is not a priority and is simply an attempt by the Scottish National Party to divert attention away from its poor record in government, and calls on the Scottish Government to focus its time on addressing the pressing issues that Scotland faces day to day, including growing the economy and rebuilding vital public services.”
