Meeting of the Parliament 19 November 2024
The result of the division on motion S6M-15508, in the name of Mairi Gougeon, on the impact of the UK Government’s budget on Scotland’s rural economy is: For 94, Against 27, Abstentions 0.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament is disappointed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer chose not to work with the Scottish Government before her Budget on 30 October 2024, nor to consult with farmers, crofters and other rural stakeholders about the Budget's effects on Scotland’s rural economy, including breaking the vital link between funding for Scotland's farmers and its land mass, and the changes to agricultural property relief, which will affect succession planning in farms throughout Scotland; is concerned at the apparent failure of the UK Government to fully assess the impacts of those budget changes on Scotland’s rural economy or to publish any such assessments, and calls on the UK Government to urgently do so.
