motion_title: Achieving a Fair Balance in the UK’s Economy (Amendment 3)
motion_text: S6M-16667.3: As an amendment to motion S6M-16667 in the name of Kate Forbes (Achieving a Fair Balance in the UK&rsquo;s Economy), leave out from "deserve" to end and insert "benefit significantly from an abundance of direct investment initiatives established under the former UK Conservative administration, including &pound;3 billion in Levelling Up funding, City Region and Growth Deals, Green Freeports, the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and the British Business Bank; recognises that the importance and significance of these investments demonstrate the commitment that was held by the former UK Conservative administration to supporting economic growth in Scotland; acknowledges the full responsibility that is held by the Scottish Government for economic outcomes deriving from its devolved powers, and calls on the UK Labour administration to hold to the critical pledges made by its predecessors to level up Scotland&rsquo;s economic prosperity."
  
  Original motion(S6M-16667):
  That the Parliament recognises that Scotland&rsquo;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.
