Chamber and committees

As no other members want to come in, I invite the cabinet secretary to respond.

There was quite a lot in there. I will bring in Pauline McNeill, before the cabinet secretary responds.

I call Sharon Dowey to wind up and to press or withdraw amendment 12.

Would you like to press amendment 12?

There will be a division.

For

MacGregor, Fulton (Coatbridge and Chryston) (SNP)
Mackay, Rona (Strathkelvin and Bearsden) (SNP)
Macpherson, Ben (Edinburgh Northern and Leith) (SNP)
Nicoll, Audrey (Aberdeen South and North Kincardine) (SNP)

Against

Dowey, Sharon (South Scotland) (Con)
Findlay, Russell (West Scotland) (Con)

Abstentions

Clark, Katy (West Scotland) (Lab)
McNeill, Pauline (Glasgow) (Lab)

I invite Russell Findlay to wind up and to press or withdraw amendment 66.

The question is, that amendment 66 be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

The result of the division is: For 4, Against 4, Abstentions 0. As there is an equality of votes for and against, I use my casting vote as convener to vote against the amendment.

Amendment 66 disagreed to.

Amendment 67 moved—[Russell Findlay].

I call Russell Findlay to speak to amendment 65 and other amendments in the group.

There will be a division.

For

MacGregor, Fulton (Coatbridge and Chryston) (SNP)
