Chamber and committees

Thank you for that comprehensive overview.

Would any other members like to come in?

I invite Christine Grahame to indicate whether she will press or withdraw the motion.

The question is, that motion S6M-12516 be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

The result of the division is: For 0, Against 8, Abstentions 0.

Motion disagreed to.

In the interests of time, I ask members to confine their questions to the SSI that is being considered today. I know that there are a lot of elements to this issue.

Members!

Does any other member want to speak?

That completes our evidence taking on the SSI. We therefore move to our next item of business, which is to consider a motion to annul the Dangerous Dogs (Compensation and Exemption Schemes) (Scotland) Order 2024. The motion to annul has been lodged in the name of Christine Grahame. As members have had the opportunity to question the Minister for Victims and Community Safety on the instrument, I now invite the committee to dispose of the motion to annul.

I invite Christine Grahame to move motion S6M-12516 in her name and to make some brief additional comments if she wishes.

We are more or less in debate, so I am happy to invite members to come in, but I would like to avoid having a ping-pong discussion about what is in the Official Report. We are here to discuss a specific SSI on exemptions and compensation so, if we can confine our remarks to that, it would be appreciated.

If no other member wants to come in, I will go back to the minister to make any further remarks.
