Chamber and committees

I call Karen Adam to wind up and to press or withdraw amendment 59.

The result of the division is: For 7, Against 2, Abstentions 0.

Amendment 59 agreed to.

Amendment 60—[Alasdair Allan]—moved.

I remind members that, if amendment 60 is agreed to, I cannot call amendments 61 to 63, as they will have been pre-empted.

The question is, that amendment 60 be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

The question is, that amendment 84 be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

There will be a division.

For

Carson, Finlay (Galloway and West Dumfries) (Con)
Hamilton, Rachael (Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire) (Con)
Villalba, Mercedes (North East Scotland) (Lab)
Wishart, Beatrice (Shetland Islands) (LD)

Against

Adam, Karen (Banffshire and Buchan Coast) (SNP)
Allan, Alasdair (Na h-Eileanan an Iar) (SNP)
Burgess, Ariane (Highlands and Islands) (Green)
Fairlie, Jim (Perthshire South and Kinross-shire) (SNP)
Minto, Jenni (SNP) (Argyll and Bute) (SNP)

The result of the division is: For 4, Against 5, Abstentions 0.

Amendment 85 disagreed to.

Amendments 67 and 30 not moved.

Amendment 64 moved—[Rachael Hamilton].

That ends stage 2 consideration of the bill. I thank everyone for their patience.

Thank you. Quite a few members want to ask questions. Jim Fairlie is desperate to comment on one of your points.

That is a whole other line of questioning that we could go down. I am reminded of my late dear friend Alex Fergusson, who was the convener of the Rural Development Committee some years ago. I remember the dread on his face whenever the subject of geese or deer was brought up. I think that, in much of what you have said, the word “geese” could be replaced by the word “deer”. There are opportunities there.

Is the fact that it is necessary to have a licence to sell goose meat a consequence of there being a funded control system in place? Is the licensing requirement general across the whole of Scotland or is it specific to the isles?

We have a very final question from Jim Fairlie.
