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 Jamie Halcro Johnston is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Rhoda Grant will fall.
The first question is, that amendment S6M-17598.2, in the name of Jamie Halcro Johnston, which seeks to amend motion S6M-17598, in the name of Mairi Gougeon, on empowering Scotland’s island communities, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
Members: No.
