Chamber and committees

I say, with respect, to Bob Doris, Monica Lennon and Jackie Dunbar, that we have come to the end of this part of proceedings. Rather than anyone else making comments, this is the point at which I will put the question.

The question is, that motion S6M-15035, in the name of Douglas Lumsden, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
