Freedom of Information (Scotland) Bill: Stage 3 – in the Scottish Parliament at 4:45 pm on 24 April 2002.
Amendment 71 is in the name of Michael Matheson. I am afraid that the clock has beaten us, so I ask Mr Matheson only whether he is moving amendment 71.
I intend to move amendment 71. However, I want to make a point for the record. We are debating the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Bill, but time seems to be preventing us from having a proper debate. It is clear that we must urgently review the rules in standing orders for dealing with stage 3 debates.
I move amendment 71.
That point has already been accepted and will be considered. However, this afternoon, we are bound by the timetabling motion that was agreed.
The question is, that amendment 71 be agreed to. Are we agreed?
There will be a division.
And lo, there was light. We will have the division.
