As an amendment to motion S4M-11993 in the name of John Swinney (Boosting the Economy), leave out from “and the fact” to end and insert "; recognises, however, that the Scottish Government needs to ensure that the benefits of economic growth improve the prospects of the workforce at large and address increasing inequalities; calls on the Scottish Government to recognise the fundamental importance of the oil and gas industry to the success of the Scottish economy; notes that the current oil price is less than half that predicted by the Scottish Government in its white paper on independence; notes the calls for cross-party talks on sustaining the future of the oil and gas industry, and further calls on the Scottish Government to work in partnership with the UK Government and local government to address the current risks to that sector, to establish a resilience fund to be used in exceptional times of crisis to deal with the consequences on local economies of large-scale redundancies and to publish an updated Oil and Gas Bulletin.”
