As an amendment to motion S6M-20820 in the name of Mark Ruskell (A Just Transition Fund for Mossmorran), insert at end “; notes that ExxonMobil has blamed the UK Labour administration’s windfall tax for accelerating the decline of Mossmorran; expresses disappointment that the left-wing 'Holyrood' consensus, in its opposition to oil and gas, has resulted in tens of thousands of job losses; highlights that the Scottish Green Party previously campaigned for Mossmorran to be closed; calls on the Scottish Government to publish its energy strategy, and further calls on the UK Government to support Rosebank oil and gas field, which could generate billions of pounds’ worth of investment and support jobs in the oil and gas supply chain.”
