I am minded to accept a motion without notice, under rule 11.2.4 of standing orders, that decision time be brought forward to now. I invite the Minister for Parliamentary Business to move the motion.
Motion moved,
That, under Rule 11.2.4, Decision Time be brought forward to 6.29 pm.—[Graeme Dey]
Motion agreed to.
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. Could you clarify whether the suspended member is allowed to vote?
The member will not vote, because the member has been asked to leave the chamber. The member is refusing to do so. The member was given every warning that I was very keen that he should remain and carry on joining in the day’s proceedings, but the member decided that that was not appropriate. It is extremely important that I protect the rights of all members equally across the chamber; therefore we cannot have on-going disruption.
