Decision Time

The Presiding Officer (Alex Fergusson)

There are 10 questions to be put as a result of today’s business. I remind members that in relation to the debate on a high-speed rail link, if the amendment in the name of Charlie Gordon is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Alex Johnstone will fall.

The first question is, that amendment S3M-6350.2, in the name of Kenny MacAskill, which seeks to amend motion S3M-6350, in the name of Hugh Henry, on protection for workers, be agreed to.

Amendment agreed to.

The next question is, that amendment S3M-6350.1, in the name of John Lamont, which seeks to amend motion S3M-6350, in the name of Hugh Henry, on protection for workers, as amended, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

The result of the division is: For 73, Against 0, Abstentions 42.

Amendment agreed to.

The Presiding Officer

The next question is, that motion S3M-6350, in the name of Hugh Henry, on protection for workers, as amended, be agreed to.

Motion, as amended, agreed to,

That the Parliament believes that further measures need to be taken to deter violence against shop workers and other workers delivering a service to the public; notes with concern the finding of the Scottish Crime and Justice Survey 2008-09 that, of those adults who had jobs involving contact with the general public, 35% had experienced either verbal abuse or physical abuse; recognises that there has been a 78% increase in violence and abuse against Scottish shop workers over the last three years, according to Retailers Against Crime; welcomes the Freedom from Fear campaign organised by the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (USDAW), which seeks to make shops and shopping areas safer for staff and customers; acknowledges the efforts of the trade union movement as a whole to highlight the continuing problems of violence for those workers with direct contact with the public; recognises that there have been year-on-year increases in prosecutions under the Emergency Workers (Scotland) Act 2005; believes that the Parliament and the Scottish Government should take further action to ensure that workers can carry out their duties without facing violence or intimidation by accepting that a comprehensive approach to changing Scotland’s relationship with alcohol is required, which includes effective enforcement of existing laws and innovative, evidence-based policies; recognises that attacks on public sector workers are treated with gravity under existing law, and believes that effective prosecution through the courts of such offences and the further development of non-legislative measures, including evidence sharing and partnership working, are an appropriate response to violence against workers delivering a public service.

The next question is, that amendment S3M-6349.1, in the name of Charlie Gordon, which seeks to amend motion S3M-6349, in the name of Stewart Stevenson, on a high-speed rail link, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.
