Hands off our Forth
The motion
That the Parliament is concerned at what it believes is the potentially devastating impact that fracking and underground coal gasification (UCG) could have on Scotland's environment; is particularly concerned at the prospect of the exploitation of the Firth of Forth in the area bordering Kincardine; understands that there is a strong consensus among the community that fracking is not welcome in Fife; calls on the Scottish Government to extend its moratorium on fracking to include UCG, and hopes that the organisers of the Hands off our Forth demonstration on 11 October 2015 have every success.
