Meeting of the Parliament (Hybrid) 20 January 2021

Item of business
Decision Time

There will be a division. Members may cast their votes now. This will be a one-minute division.

The vote is now closed. Any member who believes that they were unable to register their vote should let me know.

I advise Murdo Fraser that he does not need to make a point of order. His vote was registered.

We are trying to get through to Fulton MacGregor, who wishes to make a point of order.

I call Emma Harper to make a point of order. [Interruption.]

Colleagues, two members would like to make a point of order, but we cannot connect with them. The result is quite a clear one and the two votes would not affect the overall outcome, so I will call the result. I hope that the members will be able to make a point of order later to clarify how they would have voted.
