Decision Time

The Presiding Officer (Tricia Marwick)

There are five questions to be put as a result of today’s business. I remind members that, in relation to today’s debate on Trident, if the amendment in the name of Ruth Davidson is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Jean Urquhart will fall.

The first question is, that amendment S4M-05988.2, in the name of Ruth Davidson, which seeks to amend motion S4M-05988, in the name of Keith Brown, on Trident, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

The Presiding Officer

The result of the division is: For 61, Against 16, Abstentions 31.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament acknowledges the devastating humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons; endorses the Secretary-General of the United Nations’s five-point plan for nuclear disarmament; calls on the UK Government to acknowledge the opposition of the Scottish Parliament to nuclear weapons and to the presence of Trident in Scotland, and further calls on the UK Government to explore options for the removal of Trident ahead of the so-called main gate decision in 2016.

The Presiding Officer

The next question is, that motion S4M-05997, in the name of Joe FitzPatrick, on the approval of a Scottish statutory instrument, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that the Valuation (Postponement of Revaluation) (Scotland) Order 2013 [draft] be approved.

The Presiding Officer

The next question is, that motion S4M-05998, in the name of Joe FitzPatrick, on the approval of an SSI, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that the Budget (Scotland) Act 2012 Amendment Order 2013 [draft] be approved.

That concludes decision time. Members leaving the chamber should do so quickly and quietly.
