Motion reference: S6M-16595.1
Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Thursday, 27 February 2025
As an amendment to motion S6M-16595 in the name of Kate Forbes (Increasing Investment in Scotland), insert at end "; recognises the best practice that is happening across the UK, including in Greater Manchester, where joined-up working across the public and private sector, investment in infrastructure, and an industrial strategy have boosted investment in the region; notes Department for Business and Trade statistics showing that Scotland comes seventh out of 12 for jobs created by inward investment projects, compared to fourth for the North West of England, and believes that the Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise have failed to maximise Scotland’s economic potential and provide support to sectors that are key to Brand Scotland and attracting inward investment, including tourism, food and drink, and financial services."
