To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the open letter signed by 30 climate organisations calling on it to order SSE and Equinor to resubmit an “honest assessment” of the full environmental impact of the proposed power station at Peterhead.

This is currently before Ministers for determination and as such, it would be inappropriate for Ministers to make any comment.
