Had Mr Ruskell not interrupted me, I would have come on to make remarks about the matters that he has just raised. With regard to unlocking the economic potential of the Highlands, we know not only that electrification and decarbonisation of the railways stimulates growth for those who use it, but that rail investment, in and of itself, helps to generate income through that spend.

Mr Ruskell will have heard—indeed, he referred to it in his own remarks—about the importance of the continued pipeline of decarbonisation. In Scotland, as we often hear from our colleagues south of the border, that provides much greater value for money for the Scottish Government with regard to the level of investment.

We have announced our investment for electrification and partial electrification in the Borders and in Fife. With regard to continuing decarbonisation, we will publish our decarbonisation refresh, which people are anticipating, because we need to complete the decarbonisation process. More information will be available when that refresh is published. Our climate change plan and our goals for 2045 require us to look at decarbonisation across many modes, and that is the appropriate place for us to set out those plans.

I am confident that the Government is taking steps to maintain the crucial transport links that are needed by growing rail freight in the region and investing in our passenger services to connect more communities and people with the Highlands, both now and into the future. In bringing the debate to the chamber, Ariane Burgess has presented us with a great opportunity to explore all those issues.
