Decision Time

There are seven questions to be put as a result of today's business. I remind members that, in relation to this afternoon's debate on "Building Better Cities", if the amendment in the name of Brian Monteith is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Mark Ballard falls.

The first question is, that motion S2M-477, in the name of Sarah Boyack, on integrated rural development, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament notes the recommendations contained in the Rural Development Committee's 1st Report 2003 (Session 1): Inquiry into Integrated Rural Development (SP Paper 735).

The second question is, that amendment S2M-526.2, in the name of Fergus Ewing, which seeks to amend motion S2M-526, in the name of Andy Kerr, on "Building Better Cities: Delivering Growth and Opportunities", be agreed to. Are we agreed?

No.

There will be a division.
