Decision Time

The Deputy Presiding Officer (Elaine Smith)

There are seven questions to be put as a result of today’s business. I remind members that, in relation to the debate on transport, if the amendment in the name of Keith Brown is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Alex Johnstone falls.

The first question is, that amendment S4M-08173.2, in the name of Keith Brown, which seeks to amend motion S4M-08173, in the name of James Kelly, on transport, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

The Deputy Presiding Officer

The result of the division is: For 60, Against 43, Abstentions 15.

Motion, as amended, agreed to,

That the Parliament recognises the saving of £176 million from the cancellation of the ill-conceived Glasgow Airport Rail Link project; notes that the Parliament was informed of the decision to dispose of surplus land in March 2010 and accepts that this was carried out in accordance with the principles and guidance in the Scottish Public Finance Manual; welcomes the fact that the Scottish Government has made substantial investment, including the successful implementation of the £660 million of improvements to rail infrastructure, trains and services serving Glasgow, Paisley, Inverclyde and Ayrshire, and notes that all of this was achieved by the Scottish Government at a time of reductions in capital funding through prioritisation of the transport projects that will provide the greatest benefit to the people and economy of Scotland.

The next question is, that amendment S4M-08172.2, in the name of Kenny MacAskill, which seeks to amend motion S4M-08172, in the name of Graeme Pearson, on justice, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.
