The vote is closed.

The result of the division on amendment S6M-19894.3, in the name of Gillian Martin, is: For 58, Against 60, Abstentions 1.

Amendment disagreed to.

The result of the division on motion S6M-19895, in the name of Craig Hoy, on growing Scotland’s economy, as amended, is: For 65, Against 55, Abstentions 0.

Motion, as amended, agreed to,

That the Parliament calls on the UK Government to deliver a budget that supports a fairer, greener economy for Scotland by introducing an annual wealth tax on the wealthiest 1% of households in the UK, raising between £70 billion and £130 billion a year, to invest in communities, public services and climate action across Scotland, including reducing the cost of energy and other essentials for those who are struggling with the cost of living and inflation.

I received notification of the bill being within the Parliament at the beginning of November. I am not aware of the dates to which Mr Ross refers. The bill came into the building at that point for the usual pre-introduction checks.

I do not believe that such dates were discussed with me by the Government. That is not a point of order, Mr Ross, but we will continue with our business.

That concludes the debate on the Non-Domestic Rates (Liability for Unoccupied Properties) (Scotland) Bill.

Minister, can I confirm that you were about to take the intervention from Ms McNeill?

Thank you, Mr Bibby. We will ensure that that is recorded.
