The result of the division is: For 94, Against 30, Abstentions 0.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees to the general principles of the UK Withdrawal from the European Union (Legal Continuity) (Scotland) Bill.

I point out that, because this is the emergency bill procedure and the Parliament has agreed to the general principles of the bill, stage 2 amendments should be lodged by 2 pm this Friday, 9 March.

The next question is, that motion S5M-10784, in the name of Derek Mackay, on a financial resolution for the UK Withdrawal from the European Union (Legal Continuity) (Scotland) Bill, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.
