Amendment agreed to.

The Presiding Officer

Amendment S7M-01264.3, in the name of Malcolm Offord, was submitted and selected for debate, but it was not moved, so there will not be a vote on it. I record my surprise at this afternoon’s events, as there was no indication whatsoever at this week’s Parliamentary Bureau meeting or in previous weeks that Reform had any difficulty with the proposed business, nor was there any opposition to it when the business motion was moved and agreed to—without division, I might add—by the Parliament. I therefore consider this afternoon’s antics to be a gross discourtesy to all members of the Parliament.

The next question is, that amendment S7M-01264.5, in the name of Gillian Mackay, which seeks to amend motion S7M-01264, in the name of John Swinney, on Scotland’s right to decide, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

There will be a division.

Voting is closed.

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I would have voted yes.

Thank you. Your vote has been recorded.

The Presiding Officer

The result of the division on motion S7M-01264, in the name of John Swinney, on Scotland’s right to decide, as amended, is: For 84, Against 18, Abstentions 0.

Motion, as amended, agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that Scotland is a nation that has a right to decide its own future; recognises that Scotland faces pressing challenges that require urgent action to improve people's lives; believes that the Scottish Government must strengthen its efforts to build a fairer, more equal and prosperous Scotland; recognises that tackling child poverty must be an immediate national priority; believes that parties across the Parliament should work together to deliver the actions needed to reduce child poverty; recognises the positive impact of measures such as the Scottish Child Payment and the removal of the two-child limit in tackling child poverty; further recognises the importance of secure employment, education, housing and strong communities in achieving this; reaffirms its commitment to achieving the targets set out in the Child Poverty (Scotland) Act 2017, including reducing relative child poverty to fewer than one in 10 children by 2030, and recognises that in the 2026 Scottish Parliament election, the people of Scotland returned the biggest ever majority of pro-independence MSPs.

The Presiding Officer

That concludes decision time. I ask members who are not staying for members’ business to please leave the chamber quietly.
