Decision Time
The result of the division on motion S6M-15078, in the name of Alexander Burnett, on consideration of a Scottish statutory instrument, is: For 62, Against 62, Abstentions 0.
The vote is therefore tied. As is the established convention, I, as the Presiding Officer, must exercise a casting vote, which must be in favour of the status quo, because the chair is required to act impartially. Therefore, I cast my vote against the motion.
Motion disagreed to.
