The result of the division on motion S6M-02429, in the name of Richard Lochhead, on delivering a just transition to net zero on climate resilience for Scotland, is: For 96, Against 22, Abstentions 0.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament recognises the importance of delivering a worker and citizen-led just transition for Scotland; acknowledges the need to plan for an orderly transition to net zero by 2045, and the need for public and private investment so as to deliver a transition away from a high-carbon economy to net zero and climate resilience in a way that creates good green jobs and business opportunities across the country, and builds a fairer, greener future for all; welcomes the Scottish Government’s response to the Just Transition Commission’s report and commends the Commission’s work; approves of the commitment to a new Commission, and notes that Scotland is the first country in the world to commit to a Just Transition Planning Framework.

Good morning. I remind members of the Covid-related measures that are in place. Face coverings should be worn when moving around the chamber and across the Holyrood campus.
The first item of business is general questions. I would be grateful for short and succinct questions, with answers to match, in order to get in as many people as possible.
