Decision Time
There are five questions to be put as a result of today's business.
I propose to ask a single question on motions S2M-4770 to S2M-4772 inclusive, on the reappointment of deputy ombudsmen. The question is, that motions S2M-4770 to S2M-4772 inclusive, in the name of John Scott, on the reappointment of deputy ombudsmen, be agreed to.
Motions agreed to.
That the Parliament nominates Lewis Shand Smith to Her Majesty The Queen for reappointment as Deputy Scottish Public Services Ombudsman from 30 September 2006 until 29 September 2007.
That the Parliament nominates Carolyn Hirst to Her Majesty The Queen for reappointment as Deputy Scottish Public Services Ombudsman from 30 September 2006 until 29 September 2007.
That the Parliament nominates Eric Drake to Her Majesty The Queen for reappointment as Deputy Scottish Public Services Ombudsman from 30 September 2006 until 29 September 2007.
The next question is, that motion S2M-4711, in the name of Peter Peacock, on the general principles of the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Bill, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
No.
There will be a division.
