Please close, Mr McLennan.

The result of the division on amendment S6M-07977.1, in the name of Neil Bibby, is: For 57, Against 65, Abstentions 0.

Amendment disagreed to.

The next item of business is consideration of motion S6M-07983, which is a legislative consent motion on the Shark Fins Bill, which is a piece of United Kingdom legislation. I invite Mairi Gougeon to move the motion.

Motion moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the relevant provisions of the Shark Fins Bill, introduced in the House of Commons on 15 June 2022, and as amended at its committee stage on 16 November 2022, relating to shark finning, so far as these matters fall within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament or alter the executive competence of the Scottish Ministers, should be considered by the UK Parliament.—[Mairi Gougeon]

Edward Mountain to conclude, please.

Thank you, Ms Stevenson. We move to winding up speeches.

16:55  

The next item of business is a debate on motion S6M-07977, in the name of Graham Simpson, on A9 dualling. I would be grateful if members who wish to speak in the debate were to press their request-to-speak buttons now.

The next item of business is consideration of business motion S6M-07994, in the name of George Adam, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, setting out a business programme. I invite George Adam to move the motion.

Motion moved,
