As an amendment to motion S4M-08714 in the name of John Swinney (Scotland’s Economy), leave out from first "agrees"  to end and insert “believes that the measures taken by the UK Government to ensure a sustainable economic recovery are showing a positive effect, with growth figures recently revised upward, continued rises in the number of people in work, a fall in unemployment and the budget deficit reduced by a third; recognises that reducing corporation tax to the lowest level in the OECD, scrapping planned rises in fuel duty, raising the income tax personal allowance providing an average tax cut of £700 for 25 million people and taking 2.7 million people out of income tax altogether, and the abolition of employer national insurance payments for young people will help create jobs and assist with economic growth, and calls on the Scottish Government to prioritise the economy by using all levers at its disposal, including scrapping the public health supplement, reversing the decision to charge empty properties at 90% of business rates and implementing a relief scheme for retail properties with a rateable value of up to £50,000.”
