Decision Time
The next question is, that motion S4M-04247, in the name of Keith Brown, on the green bus fund, as amended, be agreed to.
Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament notes that the Scottish Green Bus Fund has already supported the delivery of 71 new low-carbon hybrid buses; welcomes the contribution that these are making toward reducing fuel consumption and Scotland’s carbon emissions; urges the Scottish Government and the bus industry to continue to work together to improve the environmental performance of Scotland’s bus fleet; further welcomes the launch of the third round of the fund, worth £3 million in 2012-13, and the provision of an additional £2.5 million for hybrid buses in the draft budget for 2013-14, and believes that the Scottish Government should work with the industry to drive down costs in order to accelerate the adoption of this technology in years to come.
