The next item of business is a debate on motion S4M-07712, in the name of Fergus Ewing, on opencast mining in Scotland, coaling and restoring. Members will be aware that there is a live court case before the Court of Session, on restoration. You should take care to avoid mention of the details of that case.

I call Fergus Ewing to speak to and move the motion. Minister, you have 14 minutes, but we have a bit of time in hand, so the Presiding Officers will be flexible.
