Assisted Area Map

The motion

That the Parliament notes that the consultation period for representations to The Scotland Office in relation to the revised Assisted Area Status map ends on the 2 May; further notes that from the revised map substantial parts of the Highlands and Islands in Inverness, Nairn, Moray, Badenoch and Strathspey have been removed; agrees with the Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the Highland Council’s assessment that the removal of these areas from the Assisted Area Map will be damaging to the whole economy of the Highlands and Islands and to the job prospects of thousands of people living within the Highlands and Islands, including those who face impending redundancy, and urges the relevant authorities to reconsider the matter and to reinstate excluded areas.
