Decision Time
There are two questions to be put as a result of today's business.
The first question is, that motion S2M-4612, in the name of Patricia Ferguson, that the Parliament agrees to the general principles of the Tourist Boards (Scotland) Bill, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
No.
There will be a division.

Motion agreed to.
That the Parliament agrees that the UK Parliament should consider those provisions of the Compensation Bill, introduced in the House of Lords on 2 November 2005, which will legislate in the devolved area of damages law in respect of joint and several liability, as laid out in LCM(S2) 8.1.
That concludes decision time; it also concludes our summer term. I wish everyone a good and productive recess. See you in September.
