Achieving a Fair Balance in the UK’s Economy
Submitted by:
Kate Forbes
Date lodged:
Monday, 03 March 2025
Motion reference: S6M-16667
Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 05 March 2025
That the Parliament recognises that Scotland’s many high-growth sectors, which are driven by world class innovation, deserve greater recognition from, and promotion by, the UK Government, which must not unfairly focus investment in the south-east of England, or the so-called golden triangle of Oxford, Cambridge and London, or treat Scotland as an afterthought, especially when announcing or developing policy.
