Decision Time
Johnstone, Alison NPA Lothian Watch on SPTV

The result of the division on motion S6M-20653, in the name of Murdo Fraser, on saving Scottish hospitality, as amended, is: For 59, Against 59, Abstentions 0.

The vote on the motion is therefore tied. As is usual when the Parliament has not been able to reach a decision, I am obliged to exercise a casting vote. The established convention is to vote in favour of the status quo, because the chair is required to act impartially. I therefore cast my vote against the motion, as amended.

Motion, as amended, disagreed to.
