Point of Order

On a point of order, Sir David. Moving chairs has not been without its problems. My console did not seem to recognise my presence this morning and did not record my vote for motion S1M-2162 and my vote against amendment S1M-2163.1.

The Presiding Officer (Sir David Steel):

There is such a thing as human error rather than console error. The consoles were checked and were all found to be working. There was a similar example yesterday, when a member's card was not properly inserted. Your card is not inserted and your presence is not registered unless the console light in front of the card goes out. As we are at the beginning of a new term, it is as well to remind members of that. However, in making your point of order, Mr Smith, you have recorded your votes.

In a moment, I shall close this meeting of Parliament. We shall then form a Committee of the Whole Parliament to consider stage 2 of the Erskine Bridge Tolls Bill. The occupant of the chair will be addressed as the convener of that committee.

Meeting closed at 15:33.
