This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Susan Aitken:- "Council welcomes the publication of the Referendums (Scotland) Bill on 29th May and notes that it is expected to complete its parliamentary progress by the end of 2019. Council notes that the bill provides a legal framework for holding referendums on matters that are now, or in future, within the competence of the Scottish Parliament. Council recalls that, in the 2016 EU Referendum, 67% of the electorate in Glasgow and 62% in Scotland voted to remain in the EU. As such, it condemns the UK Government's continual bypassing of the views of the Scottish Government and the interests of the people of Scotland; demonstrating that, far from being an equal partner within the UK, Scotland is acknowledged, even on such a critical matter, only if it aligns with that of the UK government. Council notes with concern the number of candidates vying to succeed Theresa May as UK Prime Minister who are planning for the UK to leave the EU with no deal; an outcome which, it has been estimated by the UK Trade Observatory, would cost Glasgow over 11,000 jobs. Council expressly condemns suggestions that parliament be suspended until after October 31, the date the UK is scheduled to exit the EU. Council recognises that, as Scotland is dragged towards the exit door of the EU by a Conservative Government for which we did not vote, and that the promises made by the No Campaign in the 2014 Independence Referendum lie in tatters, citizens in Glasgow and across Scotland are entitled to exercise their right to reject this future through a further referendum on independence. Council agrees that a future independence referendum should be under the control of the Scottish Parliament and, under the guidance of the Electoral Commission, be fair and open, in line with established best practice, and command public confidence, and instructs the Leader of the Council to write to the Cabinet Secretary for Government Business and Constitutional Relations in support of these principles and of the aims of the Referendums (Scotland) Bill.".
