Motion, as amended, agreed to.
Resolved,
That the Parliament deplores the fact that while household fuel prices have risen by six times the rate of inflation over the past year, power companies' profits have risen by 500%; is concerned that, for every 5% increase in fuel prices, it is estimated that 40,000 more Scottish households become fuel poor, while almost 3,000 deaths per year are linked to living in cold, damp housing; believes that tackling the social, health and environmental impacts of fuel poverty can save people money, improve health and help to tackle climate change; calls for the re-establishment of the Fuel Poverty Forum with a remit to include the development of a one-stop-shop approach to fuel poverty that increases the installation of energy efficiency measures, efficient central heating systems, microgeneration and smart meter technology; recognises the importance of continued support for voluntary and statutory organisations providing debt management, money and energy advice to those most affected by fuel poverty; calls on the Scottish Government to consider the introduction of a local tax rebate to provide a further incentive to householders to invest in energy efficiency and

The next question is, that motion S3M-1548, in the name of Michael Russell, on national parks, as amended, be agreed to.
Motion, as amended, agreed to.
Resolved,
That the Parliament notes the forthcoming strategic review of Scotland's two national parks; welcomes the opportunities that the national parks give to Scotland's citizens and visitors, and in particular commends their contribution to the greener Scotland agenda; believes that the following issues should be included for specific consideration in the review: the effectiveness of the national parks in achieving the main objectives set out in the National Parks (Scotland) Act 2000, the success of the national parks in building community engagement and involvement in the development of both parks, and whether the boundaries of the parks should be reviewed, and calls on the Scottish Government to address concerns regarding the structural effectiveness of the national park authorities as presently constituted with a view to enhancing local participation and to address ongoing issues with regard to the southern boundary of the Cairngorms National Park.
I propose to ask a single question on motions S3M-1541 to S3M-1543 inclusive, on the approval of Scottish statutory instruments. The question is, that motions S3M-1541 to S3M-1543 inclusive, in the name of Bruce Crawford, on the approval of SSIs, be agreed to.
Motions agreed to.
That the Parliament agrees that the draft Renewables Obligation (Scotland) Amendment Order 2008 be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the draft Housing Support Grant (Scotland) Order 2008 be approved.
