Decision Time
Macintosh, Ken NPA West Scotland Watch on SPTV

There will be a division. Members may cast their votes now.

The vote is now closed. I remind members in the chamber and online that, if they believe that their vote has not been registered, they should let me know now. There will be a pause to allow members to do so.

I have given members as long as I can to make it clear if they think that their vote was not recognised or registered.
