Decision Time

The Presiding Officer (Ken Macintosh)

As members might be aware, there has been a slight problem with the terminals and our voting system. In order to resolve that problem, we are going to reboot the system. Therefore, I ask all members to withdraw their cards from their terminals. Do not put them back in yet, please—take them out.

The system will now be restarted.

I ask all members to reinsert their cards in the terminals. Thank you.

If members could bear with us for a few more minutes, we will try to get an explanation to you. [Interruption.] I am sorry to say that the reboot did not work. I know that Mr Swinney has offered to put 50p in the meter, but that will not work either.

I have thought about the matter, and we discussed it beforehand. We could have a roll-call, but they take eight minutes per vote, so I am going to use my power under rule 11.3.3 of the standing orders to take the questions on the motion and the amendments tomorrow. However, the broadcasting team can still operate the terminals and we can move to the members’ business debate, so we will do so.
