Decision Time
There are six questions to be put as a result of today’s business. I remind members that, in relation to the debate on corroboration, if the amendment in the name of Kenny MacAskill is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Graeme Pearson falls.
The first question is, that amendment S4M-07791.3, in the name of Kenny MacAskill, which seeks to amend motion S4M-07791, in the name of Margaret Mitchell, on corroboration, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
Members: No.
There will be a division.

The result of the division is: For 62, Against 23, Abstentions 29.
Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament notes the substantial proposal to abolish the centuries old requirement for corroboration in Scottish criminal cases contained in the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill; notes that the proposal is based on the thorough and independent review of Scots criminal law and practice undertaken by Lord Carloway, the Lord Justice Clerk; accepts Lord Carloway’s conclusion that the general requirement for corroborated evidence in criminal cases is an archaic rule that has no place in a modern legal system; notes the support of Police Scotland, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, Rape Crisis Scotland, Victim Support Scotland and Scottish Women’s Aid; welcomes the consideration of additional safeguards suggested by the Senators of the College of Justice in their response to the Scottish Government’s consultation; notes that the Scottish Government is open to considering additional safeguards necessary to ensure fairness of proceedings as the Parliament deems fit; respects the process of parliamentary scrutiny of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill, on which the Justice Committee has begun evidence-taking, and looks forward to completion of that scrutiny process in the normal way.
I remind members that, in relation to the debate on named persons, if the amendment in the name of Aileen Campbell is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Jayne Baxter falls.
The next question is, that amendment S4M-07783.2, in the name of Aileen Campbell, which seeks to amend motion S4M-07783, in the name of Liz Smith, on named persons, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament reaffirms its ambition that Scotland should be the best place in the world for children and young people to grow up; considers that the protection of children from harm and the promotion of their wellbeing is of paramount importance; recognises the critical role in achieving that of the Getting It Right for Every Child approach, which has been successfully developed in Scotland ever since its inception during the first administration after devolution; understands that the named person has been developed and implemented as an essential element of that approach, as a means of making appropriate and proportionate support available to children and families in a coordinated and collaborative way, reducing bureaucracy and making the best use of public resources, and welcomes the opportunity provided by the Children and Young People (Scotland) Bill to secure the protection, nurture and support that children and their families need to flourish.
