This is the history for the submission "Motion by Councillor Richard Bell:- "Council notes with concern that the UK Labour Government Budget once again fails to deliver for Glasgow and Scotland, and that despite promises of prosperity, families face higher bills, rising unemployment, and stagnant growth. Council believes that public confidence in Westminster is broken. Council agrees with the Office for Budget Responsibility that the Budget will not boost growth, leaves the UK with unsustainable debt and record interest costs, that fiscal headroom is based on unrealistic assumptions and falls fall short of delivering meaningful reform. While Council welcomes the belated ending of the two child cap, Council notes that families have been pushed further into poverty during the year it was kept in place by Labour and that its retention has caused huge damage to the wellbeing of tens of thousands of children in Scotland. Council believes that the UK government is still failing to take meaningful action to reduce child and family poverty and must commit to matching the Scottish Government's investments in measures such as the Scottish Child Payment. Council further notes, for example, that although Scottish income tax rates remain unchanged, UK threshold freezes will push many already struggling households into poverty by bringing them into a tax-paying bracket for the first time, and that this comes on top of household energy bills now being an average £340 higher than when the government took office, despite its promises to the contrary. Council further notes that claims of record support for Scotland are misleading: that additional funding is modest and uncertain and does not cover even half the forecast cost to the Scottish Government of the rise in Employer's National Insurance contributions, and that UK threshold freezes are among measures that will further reduce Scotland's devolved budget. Council further notes that while English regions receive multi-year settlements, the Chancellor yet again missed the opportunity to provide parity for cities in devolved nations, including Glasgow, further disadvantaging them and creating risk of falling behind in investment and growth. Council agrees with the UK Core Cities that this continued inequity for city regions in the devolved nations is unfair and unsustainable and supports calls for parity of capital funding. In contrast, Council warmly welcomes the announcement by the First Minister at the annual State of the City Region Economy conference, committing to bring forward enabling legislation to allow Scotland's city regions - beginning with the Glasgow City Region - to seek legal status and devolution of powers and resource relating to, for example, skills, enterprise, business growth, inward investment, transport, development and land use, and believes that this has genuinely transformational potential for people and places across the region. Council therefore instructs the Chief Executive to write to the Chancellor to call for her to deliver genuine fiscal reform to secure sustainable funding for public services; to urgently provide for parity of funding between the Glasgow City Region and English metro regions; and to address policies harming Glasgow's communities and economy."".
