Meeting of the Parliament 10 September 2025
I really have to finish.
We are encouraged that the UK Government has taken action to legislate on this method. The amendment reinforces the Scottish Government’s climate change ambitions by setting out that timeline and restricting the use of new non-zero-emission buses from a date—I emphasise—no earlier than 2030.
The amendment provides the framework for the prohibition of those buses, and the detail of implementation will be delivered through regulations. Those regulations will come to the Parliament and there will be a chance to scrutinise and consult on them. The consultation by the Scottish Government is already taking place, but the Parliament will also have that opportunity.
I once again ask members of the Parliament to support the motion.
