Opened the debate
Mr Hendry criticised the current procedure for the motion, stating that it is unusual and indicates a government avoiding its responsibilities. He argued that they could have used an amendment of law resolution to add their new clause without resorting to unique Standing Orders. He expressed concern over the prevention of Members from tabling any new clauses or amendments relating to the subject, such as a highland energy rebate for people living among generating equipment.
