  • Date lodged: Monday, 07 October 2024
  • Motion reference: S6M-14820.1
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 08 October 2024

As an amendment to motion S6M-14820 in the name of John Swinney (Challenge Poverty Week), leave out from “must” to end and insert “and the Scottish Government must both reverse the introduction of means testing for the Winter Fuel Payment; notes that the Scottish National Party administration has failed to reduce poverty during its 17 years in power; recognises that the best way to tackle poverty is to provide high-quality healthcare and educational and employment opportunities for people across Scotland, with appropriate levels of housing, and condemns the Scottish Government’s failure to achieve any of these objectives.”
