House of Commons – June 4, 2015 – 3

Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 33), That the amendment be made. Amendment: Amendment proposed: at the end of the Question to add: “but regret that the measures set out do not adequately meet the challenges facing the majority of people across the UK;

call in particular for your Government to change course on plans for further austerity spending cuts, to reconsider changes to the welfare state that will hit many of the most vulnerable people in our country and to halt proposals to waste £100 billion on new nuclear weapons at a time when vital public services are being squeezed across the country;

and recognise the overwhelming mandate in Scotland for both the early implementation, in full, of the Smith Commission proposals and the delivery of additional powers for the Scottish Parliament including new powers on job creation, to improve living standards and to protect the welfare state in Scotland.”.—(Stewart Hosie.)
