Watch the debate on SPTV
Carried 64/54
As an amendment to motion S4M-02087 in the name of Elaine Murray (Withdrawal of Road Equivalent Tariff from Commercial Vehicles), leave out from “is of the view” to end and insert “welcomes the decision to roll RET out to other Clyde and Hebrides routes, including the Sound of Harris and the Sound of Barra; welcomes the investment of £5.3 million next year on the routes to Western Isles, Coll and Tiree; welcomes the increase in journeys to those islands of 30% that has resulted from the RET pilot, particularly in tourist journeys, notes that RET for large commercial vehicles made up around 40% of the cost of RET and that evidence from the pilot study showed that only 7% of hauliers passed the full benefits on to consumers; notes that, following discussions between the Scottish Government and local companies, investment of £2.5 million in a transitional scheme will support all hauliers regardless of the size of their business; welcomes the inclusion of vans of up to six metres in the RET scheme and the Scottish Government’s commitment to a six month study of the costs faced by island hauliers, including fuel duty and insurance costs, and the impact on the local economies and households of the Western Isles, Coll and Tiree, and looks forward to the review of ferry services that will put RET at the heart of an equitable system of fare setting.”
