Backing Oil and Gas (Amendment 3)
S6M-19894.3: As an amendment to motion S6M-19894 in the name of Douglas Lumsden (Backing Oil and Gas), leave out from first &ldquo;the Scottish&rdquo; to end and insert &ldquo;that the Conservative Party, while in the UK Government, extended the Energy Profits Levy and failed to replace it with a sustainable fiscal regime that supports a just transition, and recognises that communities in Scotland are now paying the price of the UK Conservative administration&rsquo;s levy on Scottish industry.&rdquo;

Original motion(S6M-19894):
That the Parliament regrets the Scottish Government's ideological drive to end North Sea oil and gas exploration and production; notes the negative impact on oil and gas jobs, energy security, the economy and the environment of the Scottish Government's&nbsp;failure to pursue an informed, data-led, evidence-based North Sea policy; demands the immediate and unequivocal reversal of the Scottish Government's&nbsp;presumption against new oil and gas exploration and production, and calls on the UK Government to immediately abolish the Energy Profits Levy.
