That ends stage 3 consideration of amendments.

As members will be aware, I am required under standing orders to decide whether or not, in my view, any provision of a bill relates to a protected subject matter—that is, whether it modifies the electoral system and franchise for Scottish parliamentary elections. In the case of this bill, in my view, no provision of the Housing (Scotland) Bill relates to a protected subject matter. Therefore, the bill does not require a supermajority to be passed at stage 3.

Before we move to the debate, I call the cabinet secretary to signify Crown consent to the bill.

I would be grateful if any conversations that are happening in the chamber could be drawn to a close.

Let us hear one another.

It is fair to say that this debate has been carried on over several days in a courteous environment. I would be grateful if we could carry that through to the end.

The next item of business is an announcement by the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee on instruments considered during the first quarter of parliamentary year 2025-26. I call Stuart McMillan, the convener of the committee, to make the announcement.

The question on the motion will be put at decision time.

The result of the division on motion S6M-18992, in the name of Màiri McAllan, on the Housing (Scotland) Bill at stage 3, is: For 89, Against 28, Abstentions 0.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that the Housing (Scotland) Bill be passed.

[Applause.]

Members will note that we have passed the agreed time limit for the debate on this group of amendments. I exercise my power under rule 9.8.4A(c) to allow the debate to continue beyond that limit, in order to avoid its being unreasonably curtailed.

I call Jamie Halcro Johnston to wind up and to press or withdraw amendment 237.

The result of the division is: For 23, Against 86, Abstentions 0.

Amendment 239 disagreed to.

Section 43—Local authorities etc.: consideration of domestic abuse

Amendments 240 and 241 moved—[Màiri McAllan ]—and agreed to.

Amendment 327 not moved.

After section 44

Amendment 328 moved—[Katy Clark].
