Decision Time

The Presiding Officer (Tricia Marwick)

There are up to seven questions to be put as a result of today’s business. I remind members that, in relation to the debate on air quality in Scotland, if the amendment in the name of Paul Wheelhouse is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Jamie McGrigor falls.

The first question is, that amendment S4M-09294.3, in the name of Paul Wheelhouse, which seeks to amend motion S4M-09294, in the name of Claire Baker, on air quality in Scotland, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

The Presiding Officer

The result of the division is: For 114, Against 8, Abstentions 0.

Motion, as amended, agreed to,

That the Parliament notes the 2013 air quality monitoring results and that, while improvements in air quality have been made over recent years, a number of hot spot areas still exist, which have impacts on the quality of life and health and wellbeing of impacted communities and individuals, particularly those with pre-existing respiratory and cardiovascular conditions; recognises the work that has been led by the Scottish Government, local authorities and others to improve air quality and protect the quality of life of individuals and communities; recognises, however, that more needs to be done, and welcomes initiatives such as the Low Emission Strategy that will deliver further progress.

The Presiding Officer

The next question is, that amendment S4M-09293.1, in the name of Shona Robison, which seeks to amend motion S4M-09293, in the name of Johann Lamont, on women in Scotland, be agreed to.

Amendment agreed to.

The Presiding Officer

The next question is, that motion S4M-09293, in the name of Johann Lamont, on women in Scotland, as amended, be agreed to.

Motion, as amended, agreed to,

That the Parliament recognises the significant contribution that women make to Scotland’s economy and society and across its public and private spheres; notes the political, social and economic advancement of women in Scotland that has taken place over the last century, but believes that women still encounter barriers into education, employment and representation in public life that need to be addressed; commends the Scottish Women’s Convention on organising the conference, What Women Want, What Women Need, to mark International Women’s Day on 8 March 2014; believes that the Parliament and the Scottish Government have a pivotal role in fighting for and creating equality for women in 21st century Scotland, and notes the valuable contribution of role models such as the late Professor Ailsa McKay, feminist economist and inspirational champion of women’s equality.

The Presiding Officer

The next question is, that motion S4M-09299, in the name of Joe FitzPatrick, on the designation of a lead committee, be agreed to.
