One member wishes to speak against the motion.

Donald Gorrie (Central Scotland) (LD):

I would like an explanation from Tavish Scott to persuade me not to vote against the motion. We are asked to agree that

"the Justice 1 Committee reports to the Justice 2 Committee by 9 March 2001 on the Civil Defence . . . Regulations".

What on earth is the point of one committee reporting to another? It was idiotic to have two justice committees, and the motion illustrates that point.

The motion has been agreed by the conveners of the two justice committees. That is the position.

The question is, that motion S1M-1664, in the name of Mr Tom McCabe, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

No.

There will be a division.
