Motion without Notice: The Minister for Parliamentary Business (George Adam) moved without notice that, under Rule 11.2.5, decisions on items 3, 4 and items not yet considered at this meeting, would be taken at a future meeting of the Parliament. 6. Protecting Rural Bus Services: The Parliament debated S6M-02426 in the name of Mark Ruskell—That the Parliament recognises the importance of local bus services, which are often a lifeline that enables communities to access essential services; acknowledges that rural communities are especially vulnerable to the loss of routes, such as the X53 service that connects Clackmannanshire villages to Kinross and Stirling; recognises the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patronage levels, and the impact of driver shortages on service provision but also notes that the rollout of the Concessionary Bus Travel Scheme for under-22s in January 2022 is likely to increase bus patronage, and further notes calls on bus operators to meet the needs of all communities they serve by withdrawing planned service cuts.
