FSB Scotland response consultation on Community Wealth Building

FSB Scotland response to the Scottish Government's consultation on Community Wealth Building.

We welcome the opportunity to respond to the Scottish Government consultation on Building Community Wealth in Scotland, as well as the opportunity to be involved in the Bill steering group which shaped the consultation paper. It is our view that Community Wealth Building legislation has huge potential to reform the way we do things in Scotland, particularly with regards to procurement, to the benefit of local businesses and, in turn, local economies and communities.
