Let us hear the First Minister.

Let us not shout across the chamber.

Let us hear one another.

We will ensure that your vote is recorded.

The result of the division on motion S6M-18795, in the name of Kate Forbes, on supporting Scottish exports in response to global uncertainty, is: For 60, Against 49, Abstentions 7.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament recognises that demand for Scottish exports is strong due to Scotland’s high-quality products and services, and its excellence in sectors such as food and drink, professional, scientific, and technical activities; notes that global trade challenges, including geopolitical uncertainty, Brexit, and trade tariffs, are having a detrimental impact on Scottish businesses; welcomes the Scottish Government’s Six Point Export Plan, which is supporting Scottish businesses to respond to these challenges; notes that the additional support being provided, builds on effective and continued delivery of A Trading Nation, the Scottish Government’s export growth strategy, as indicated through Scottish Enterprise’s highest ever level of forecast export sales in 2024-25; acknowledges that meaningful collaboration between partners to promote Scotland internationally, using the Scottish Government-led award-winning Brand Scotland collateral, will boost awareness of Scotland’s strengths and increase opportunities for export growth, and calls on the UK Government to fully address the continuing impacts of Brexit on Scottish and UK trade by rejoining the European Union, and reverse its damaging decision to increase employers’ national insurance contributions, which is harming business confidence and Scotland’s economy.

That concludes decision time.

That concludes the debate on the motion on legislative consent for the Bus Services (No 2) Bill, which is UK legislation.

The next item of business is consideration of business motion S6M-18788, in the name of Jamie Hepburn, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, which sets out a business programme.
