As an amendment to motion S6M-13482 in the name of Douglas Lumsden (Recognising the Contribution of Scotland’s Oil and Gas Industry), leave out from first "notes" to end and insert "agrees that, as part of the energy transition, oil and gas production will continue in the North Sea for decades to come; believes that if Scotland is to maintain its reputation for expertise in energy generation, there is a need to deliver a just transition to the clean energy industries of the future; further believes that it is the Scottish National Party (SNP)’s failure to plan and invest for a just transition that is putting jobs at risk; calls on the UK and Scottish governments to work together to deliver a skills passport to protect workers and help Scotland’s world-leading offshore workforce transition to the renewables sector; further calls on the Scottish Government to reform Scotland’s planning system to make it an asset in attracting investment by providing efficiency and certainty for developers; condemns the economic incompetence of the Conservative Party and the SNP, which has exacerbated the cost of living crisis for households in Scotland; notes that the Scottish Government has chosen to side with energy giants over working people with its recent u-turn on a windfall tax on the exorbitant profits of oil and gas companies, while raising taxes on working people; believes that the policies and instability of the UK Government further undermined progress in delivering the energy jobs of the future and failing to improve energy security, and further believes that only the UK Labour Party has a plan for the transition through its Green Prosperity Plan, which will support 69,000 green jobs in Scotland, and creation of GB Energy as a publicly-owned energy company, which will ensure jobs and supply chains are built in the UK and Scotland, developing clean energy industries and that no community is left behind."
