Item of business
Decision Time
There are four questions to be put as a result of today’s business. I remind members that, if the amendment in the name of Jeremy Balfour is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Paul O’Kane will fall.
The first question is, that amendment S6M-12203.1, in the name of Jeremy Balfour, which seeks to amend motion S6M-12203, in the name of Shirley-Anne Somerville, on “Building a New Scotland: Social security in an independent Scotland”, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
Members: No.
