Decision Time

The Presiding Officer (Sir David Steel):

I have seven questions to put to the chamber as a result of today's business.

I ask members to check that the light in front of their card is not on. I have in mind a particular member, as I know from my screen that, earlier today, he had not inserted his card properly. [Members: "Who?"] I am not going to say who it was, but my instruction is not idle. If the light on a member's console is still showing, that member will not be registered and therefore his or her vote will not count.

The first question is, that motion S1M-1780, in the name of Ms Wendy Alexander, which seeks agreement that the Education (Graduate Endowment and Student Support) (Scotland) (No 2) Bill be passed, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members:

No.

There will be a division.
