  • Motion reference: S7M-00159.4

As an amendment to motion S7M-00159 in the name of Stephen Gethins (It’s Scotland’s Energy), leave out from “believes” to end and insert "condemns the UK Labour Administration's ban on new oil and gas licences; believes that Aberdeen, the North East and Scotland is suffering due to this and other non-strategic, unevidenced, ideological policies from both the UK and Scottish governments, and calls in particular on the Scottish Government to reverse its long-held, dogmatic and illogical presumption against new oil and gas licences and make clear that oil and gas must be part of a balanced energy mix going forward."
