Decision Time
We now come to decision time. There are five questions.
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. Earlier, I asked whether you would make a statement on your decision not to accept the amendment that I lodged. I seek your assurance that we will have an opportunity to vote against the motion.
I was about to put that to a decision. However, I never make statements on why I have not selected amendments. That would be a new and unwelcome departure.
I have five questions to put to the chamber. The first question is, that amendment S1M-1196.1, in the name Kay Ullrich, which seeks to amend motion S1M-1196, in the name of Susan Deacon, on public health, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
No.
There will be a division.

Motion, as amended, agreed to.
Resolved,
That the Parliament notes the challenges and progress described in the Chief Medical Officer's report 1999 Health in Scotland; welcomes the fact that the Scottish Executive is now leading and supporting the biggest ever drive to improve health and tackle health inequalities, and values the contribution of local authorities, voluntary and community organisations and others working in partnership with health professionals and the NHS to improve the health of the people of Scotland and further notes that progress towards a healthier Scotland is dependent on many factors and that progress will only be achieved through a partnership that matches the work of health professionals with public health education and an increased appreciation by individual Scots of the responsibility they have for their own health.
The fourth question is, that motion S1M-1185, in the name of Margaret Curran, on behalf of the Social Inclusion, Housing and Voluntary Sector Committee, on housing stock transfer, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
No.
There will be a division. Those who wish to support the committee's report should press their yes buttons now.
On a point of order, Presiding Officer.
I cannot take a point of order in the middle of a vote.
The motion is to note the report, not to support it. I want to ensure that that is on the record.
Mr Crawford is correct. I am misreading my script.
The question is, that motion S1M-1185, in the name of Margaret Curran, on behalf of the Social Inclusion, Housing and Voluntary Sector Committee, on housing stock transfer, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
No.
There will be a division. Those who wish to support the motion, which takes note of the committee report, should press their yes buttons now.
