Chamber and committees

Thank you. I call Douglas Lumsden—I think that I have got it right this time—to wind up.

I wondered whether that was just hesitation but, obviously, it was not.

I call Patrick Harvie to wind up and to press or withdraw amendment 27.

I invite Graham Simpson to speak to amendment 21, in the name of Maurice Golden, and other amendments in the group.

There will be a division.

For

Lumsden, Douglas (North East Scotland) (Con)
Mountain, Edward (Highlands and Islands) (Con)

Against

Doris, Bob (Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn) (SNP)
Dunbar, Jackie (Aberdeen Donside) (SNP)
Lennon, Monica (Central Scotland) (Lab)
Matheson, Michael (Falkirk West) (SNP)
Ruskell, Mark (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Green)

Douglas Lumsden will speak to amendment 64, in the name of Brian Whittle, and other amendments in the group.

I call Douglas Lumsden to speak to amendment 61 and other amendments in the group.

I would love to be the cabinet secretary but I am not. I will take “convener”.

We will now go through a series of decisions on amendments. I will do it slowly in the hope that we will all get it right, having been recharged at lunch.

Amendment 18 not moved.

Amendment 21 moved—[Graham Simpson]—and agreed to.

Amendment 56 moved—[Sarah Boyack]—and agreed to.
