[Interruption.]

Order. [ Interruption. ] Order! I suspend the meeting of the Parliament for 10 minutes.

Meeting suspended.

On resuming—

I very much regret that it was necessary to suspend the Parliament. The Scottish Parliament is an open Parliament; it is a participative Parliament. The Scottish Parliament is not a public meeting. I expect courtesy from members of the public in the gallery and no attempt to influence members in their designated work in this place.

The next question is, that motion S1M-3233, in the name of Patricia Ferguson, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on electronic voting in relation to the University of St Andrews (Postgraduate Medical Degrees) Bill, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament directs that under Rule 11.8.3 any division at Stage 2 of the University of St. Andrews (Postgraduate Medical Degrees) Bill shall be taken using the electronic voting system.

The next question is, that motion S1M-3234, in the name of Patricia Ferguson, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on suspension of standing orders in relation to the University of St Andrews (Postgraduate Medical Degrees) Bill, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament agrees that Rules 9.5.3B, 9.7.9 and 9.8.3 of the Standing Orders be suspended for the purposes of the University of St. Andrews (Postgraduate Medical Degrees) Bill.

The final question is, that motion S1M-3235, in the name of Patricia Ferguson, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on the designation of lead committees, be agreed to.
