Decision Time

There are two questions to be put as a result of today’s business. The first question is on the motion to pass the Air Departure Tax (Scotland) Bill.

Following the introduction of new procedures relating to protected subject matters, I am required under rule 9.8.9 of standing orders to call a division on the motion to pass the bill at stage 3. That is because, although I have decided that a supermajority is not required, we are required to record the result. In that way, we can demonstrate in any circumstances the number of members who voted in favour of the bill. I hope that members followed that.

The question is, that motion S5M-06164, in the name of Derek Mackay, on the Air Departure Tax (Scotland) Bill, be agreed to. Members should cast their votes now.
