Priorities for Scotland: Amendment 3
Submitted by:
Ross Greer
Date lodged:
Monday, 01 September 2025
Motion type: Amendment
Motion reference: S6M-18671.3
Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 02 September 2025
As an amendment to motion S6M-18671 in the name of John Swinney (Priorities for Scotland), insert at end "; is concerned that Scottish Government action to tackle the climate emergency has been scaled back, that targets for reducing child poverty have been missed and that the wealthiest 2% of households in Scotland hold more wealth than the bottom 50%; recognises that tackling the climate emergency, eradicating child poverty and ensuring high-quality and sustainable public services will require further redistribution of wealth, and calls, therefore, on the Scottish Government to make bold use of its existing tax-raising powers, including the creation of new revenue-raising mechanisms for local government."
