  *S2M-3795.4 George Lyon: Local Government FinanceâAs an amendment to motion (S2M-3795) in the name of Mr John Swinney, leave out from âwidespread concernâ to end and insert ârecord levels of finance provided to local government by the Scottish Executive which mean that by 2007-08 core funding will have increased by over Â£3 billion or 55% compared with 1999-2000; welcomes the report from the Local Government Improvement Service which confirms that councils are on course to achieve at least Â£122 million in efficiency savings in 2005-06; notes that the Executive has given a commitment to consider some further additional resources for 2007-08 subject to local government delivering on their efficiency targets and that the Executive is engaged in an ongoing discussion with local government about the financial pressures councils are facing and the steps local government can take to maintain downward pressure on council tax, and looks forward to the report of the independent committee on local government taxation, which is due later this year.â Supported by: Mr Tom McCabe*
