The result of the division is: For 77, Against 30, Abstentions 0.
Amendment agreed to.
Because amendment S1M-700.2 is carried, amendment S1M-700.1, in the name of Andrew Wilson, falls.
The third question is, that motion S1M-700, in the name of Tommy Sheridan, on a Scottish service tax, as amended, be agreed to. Are we all agreed? That is agreed.
No, it is not.
For once, I have to ask members to be a little more vocal. There will be a division.
