Chamber and committees

Thank you.

I invite Edward Mountain to wind up and to press or withdraw amendment 70.

There will be a division.

For

Fraser, Murdo (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Con)
Whittle, Brian (South Scotland) (Con)

Against

Brown, Siobhian (Ayr) (SNP)
Fairlie, Jim (Perthshire South and Kinross-shire) (SNP)
Mason, John (Glasgow Shettleston) (SNP)
Rowley, Alex (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab)

Amendment 71, in the name of Edward Mountain, has already been debated with amendment 70. I ask Edward Mountain to move or not move amendment 71.

That is appreciated. Please hold on for one moment.

Unfortunately, those amendments relate to more than one section. Therefore, at the moment, you could move amendments 71 to 81 en bloc, if you are happy with that, Mr Mountain.

Cabinet secretary, do you want to come in?

There will be a division.

For

Fraser, Murdo (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Con)
Whittle, Brian (South Scotland) (Con)

Against

Brown, Siobhian (Ayr) (SNP)
Fairlie, Jim (Perthshire South and Kinross-shire) (SNP)
Mason, John (Glasgow Shettleston) (SNP)
Rowley, Alex (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab)
