In June 2016:

'Speaking after the vote, Labour's environment spokeswoman Claudia Beamish said: "Today the will of the Scottish Parliament has been made clear - there should be an outright ban on fracking. The SNP may have abstained on the vote, but they cannot ignore the clear position of Scotland's Parliament. The SNP Government must now clarify whether or not they will respect the will of Parliament and introduce an outright ban on fracking. It would be outrageous for this important vote to be ignored."
