  • Submitted by: Maurice Golden, West Scotland, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 16 September 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-22731.2
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Thursday, 17 September 2020

As an amendment to motion S5M-22731 in the name of Jamie Hepburn (Employment Support), leave out from "believes" to end and insert "welcomes the protection of more than 900,000 jobs in Scotland as part of the UK Government’s Job Retention and Self-Employment Income Support schemes; notes that the Chancellor's scheme has already ensured that more than 50% of those furloughed since May 2020 had returned to work by August; welcomes that, at the height of the pandemic, more than a third of Scotland’s workforce was furloughed as part of the Job Retention Scheme; further welcomes the UK Government’s Job Retention Bonus that will pay £1,000 to employers for every employee that is retained; recognises that continuing interventions will be necessary from the UK Government, and calls on the Scottish Government to protect Scottish jobs now by setting out specific support for businesses and sectors most affected by COVID-19, particularly given the guaranteed additional £6.5 billion from the UK Government."
