Unconventional Oil and Gas - Amendment
- Submitted by: Murdo Fraser, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
- Date lodged: Monday, 23 October 2017
- Motion reference: S5M-08341.3
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 24 October 2017
As an amendment to motion S5M-08341 in the name of Paul Wheelhouse (Unconventional Oil and Gas), leave out from “agrees" to end and insert “disagrees with the Scottish Government’s position of imposing a ban on the development of unconventional oil and gas in Scotland; believes that this is an ill-thought out decision, which completely disregards scientific evidence; notes that the ban is incongruent with the research in the Scottish Government’s paper, Independent Expert Scientific Panel - Report on Unconventional Oil And Gas, which was published in 2014; recognises the Scottish Government’s inconsistency on fracking due to the continuation of fracked shale gas imports from overseas, and regrets that the thousands of jobs that could have been created and the significant economic benefit and the research opportunities that fracking could have brought to Scotland, will all now be lost to the country as a result”.
