Decision Time

There is one question to be put as a result of today’s business. The question is, that motion S6M-11381, in the name of Pam Duncan-Glancy, on the Disabled Children and Young People (Transitions to Adulthood) (Scotland) Bill at stage 1, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

There will be a division.

There will be a short suspension to allow members to access the digital voting system.

17:01 Meeting suspended.  

17:03 On resuming—  

We move to the vote on motion S6M-11381, in the name of Pam Duncan-Glancy, on the Disabled Children and Young People (Transitions to Adulthood) (Scotland) Bill at stage 1. Members should cast their vote now.

The vote is closed.

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. Sorry—I was unable to connect. I would have voted no—[Interruption.]

Thank you, Mr Cole-Hamilton. I will ensure that that is recorded—[Interruption.] I think that we have lost him.

Can we have Alex Cole-Hamilton for a point of order, please?

Can you hear me now, Presiding Officer?

Can we have your point of order again, Mr Cole-Hamilton?

Okay—sorry about that. I could not connect, and I would have voted no.

You would have voted—

Members: No!

Can we have your point of order again, Mr Cole-Hamilton?

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I am sure that Alex Cole-Hamilton does not need my assistance, but I clearly heard him say, “No”, and I think that the chamber did, too. I hope that that assists you, Presiding Officer. If not, I will sit down.

Thank you, Mr Mountain. I am sure that that was in the spirit of being helpful. It was not audible to me. The vote is now concluded, but thank you very much for your point of order.
