As an amendment to motion S4M-08714 in the name of John Swinney (Scotland’s Economy), leave out from "; agrees" to end and insert ", including falls in unemployment and rises in employment that match exactly the pattern across the UK; believes that a stable UK Government provided by the coalition in the most challenging financial and economic circumstances has been in the national interest; notes that there are 110,000 more people in employment in Scotland than three years ago and that this figure far exceeds the flagship employment proposals of the Scottish Government; further notes that this is being done while cutting income tax for workers by £700 and increasing the state pension by the highest ever cash amount, and believes that the determined path to a stronger economy and a fairer society is through partnership within the United Kingdom."
