Decision Time

The Presiding Officer (Tricia Marwick)

There are six questions to be put as a result of today’s business. I remind members that, in relation to this afternoon’s debate, if the amendment in the name of Graeme Pearson is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Margaret Mitchell will fall.

The first question is, that amendment S4M-10278.1, in the name of Graeme Pearson, which seeks to amend motion S4M-10278, in the name of Kenny MacAskill, on cashback for communities, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

The result of the division is: For 15, Against 88, Abstentions 2.

Amendment disagreed to.

The Presiding Officer

The third question is, that motion S4M-10278, in the name of Kenny MacAskill, on cashback for communities, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament welcomes the publication of the first National Evaluation of the CashBack for Communities Programme: Final Report; notes that, since its launch in 2008, the programme has provided over 1.5 million positive opportunities and activities for young people across Scotland; welcomes the fact that this uniquely Scottish CashBack for Communities programme is being funded by over £74 million recovered from criminals using the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002; notes that the independent report highlights the significant impact that the programme is delivering; believes that every effort should be made to ensure further progress in recovering money from those who profit from crime, and believes that funds obtained from the proceeds of crime should continue to be focused on projects in communities across Scotland as well as those particularly affected by crime and antisocial behaviour and, in so doing, continue to tackle breaking the cycle of youth offending in communities.

The Presiding Officer

The fourth question is, that motion S4M-10284, in the name of Richard Lochhead, on the Public Bodies (Abolition of Food from Britain) Order 2014, which is United Kingdom legislation, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament consents to the making of the Public Bodies (Abolition of Food from Britain) Order 2014, a draft of which was laid before the UK Parliament on 6 May 2014 and which makes provision that would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament if it were contained within an Act of that Parliament.

The Presiding Officer

The fifth question is, that motion S4M-10243, in the name of Stewart Stevenson, on “Hybrid Bills”, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament notes the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee’s 4th Report 2014 (Session 4), Hybrid Bills (SP Paper 513), and agrees that the changes to Standing Orders set out in Annexe A of the report be made with effect from 27 June 2014.

The Presiding Officer

The sixth question is, that motion S4M-10244, in the name of Stewart Stevenson, on “EU Legislative Proposals: Review of Standing Orders”, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament notes the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee’s 2nd Report 2014 (Session 4), EU Legislative Proposals: Review of Standing Orders (SP Paper 506), and agrees that the changes to Standing Orders set out in Annexe A of the report be made with effect from 27 June 2014.

That ends decision time.

Meeting closed at 17:03.
