The result of the division is: For 16, Against 51, Abstentions 19.

Amendment disagreed to.

Amendment S1M-3423.1, in the name of Lyndsay McIntosh, was not moved. Therefore, the next question is, that motion S1M-3423, in the name of Margaret Curran, on race equality, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament recognises the importance of tackling racism, prejudice and inequality as integral to promoting an inclusive, confident and prosperous Scotland that retains and attracts talent from different cultures and backgrounds and welcomes the anti-racism and race equality work being done by the Executive and other national and local bodies.

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. My point relates to the withdrawal of amendments.

Amendment S1M-3423.1 was not moved.

The point is that another amendment was lodged and perhaps the fact that that amendment existed had a bearing on your choice of which amendments to select. I ask that, in future, you ask parties to move amendments to which they speak.

I may be omnipotent, but I am not omniscient: I have no idea what members will do once the debate is under way. Anyone has a right not to move an amendment in the light of the discussion. I understand that that is what happened. I understand Mr Sheridan's point. It is an interesting one, but it is not really valid.

The next question is, that motion S1M-3421, in the name of Patricia Ferguson, on the approval of Scottish statutory instruments, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament agrees that the following Orders be approved— the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman Act 2002 (Amendment) Order 2002; the Scotland Act 1998 (Cross-Border Public Authorities) (Adaptation of Functions etc.) (Amendment) Order 2002; and the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) (West Coast) (No.11) Order 2002 (SSI 2002/388).

The last question is, that motion S1M-3425, in the name of Patricia Ferguson, on substitution on committees, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament agrees the following nominated committee substitutes for the Labour Party as permitted under Rule 6.3A— Karen Whitefield Equal Opportunities Committee Wendy Alexander Finance Committee Trish Godman Procedures Committee Scott Barrie Public Petitions Committee Jackie Baillie Subordinate Legislation Committee Janis Hughes Audit Committee Marilyn Livingstone Education, Culture and Sport Committee Kate Maclean Justice 1 Committee Angus MacKay Local Government Committee John McAllion Rural Development Committee Elaine Thomson Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee Tom McCabe Health and Community Care Committee Sylvia Jackson Justice 2 Committee Sarah Boyack Social Justice Committee Karen Gillon Standards Committee Helen Eadie Transport and the Environment Committee
