Backing Oil and Gas (Amendment 4)
S6M-19894.4: As an amendment to motion S6M-19894 in the name of Douglas Lumsden (Backing Oil and Gas), leave out from first "the Scottish" to end and insert "that the Scottish National Party (SNP) and the Conservative and Unionist Party stood by for years and let Scotland&rsquo;s oil and gas industry decline with no plan for the future; welcomes the UK Labour administration's plans to ensure that oil and gas continue to be key parts of the country's energy mix for decades to come, while working to unlock Scotland&rsquo;s huge renewable potential; condemns the two decades of SNP failure to turn this enormous potential into jobs, wealth and social good for communities across Scotland, and calls on the Scottish Government to urgently publish its Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan, and to invest now in skills development and the green jobs of the future."

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.
