Amendment disagreed to.

The next question is, that motion S5M-12076, in the name of Keith Brown, on the Scottish national investment bank, as amended, be agreed to.

Motion, as amended, agreed to,

That the Parliament notes the publication of the Scottish National Investment Bank Implementation Plan, which sets out proposals and recommendations for the establishment of the bank; further notes the emphasis that these proposals place on the bank being bold and ambitious by providing patient mission-based finance, which will help create and shape future markets and help Scotland achieve its full economic potential; acknowledges concerns expressed by stakeholders that a cluttered policy landscape can lead to confusion, a lack of alignment, duplication and weakened accountability, and calls on the Scottish Government for clarity of focus and delivery with respect to the role and objectives of the bank.

The final question is, that motion S5M-12112, in the name of Fiona Hyslop, on the Holocaust (Return of Cultural Objects) (Amendment) Bill, which is United Kingdom legislation, be agreed to.
