– in the Scottish Parliament at 5:01 pm on 6 November 2003.
There are potentially 11 questions as a result of today's business. I point out, in relation to this morning's debate on sustainable Scotland, that if the amendment in the name of Ross Finnie is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Ted Brocklebank falls. In relation to this morning's debate on the future of Scottish agriculture, if the amendment in the name of Ross Finnie is agreed to, the amendments in the name of Roseanna Cunningham and Alex Johnstone fall.
The first question is, that amendment S2M-559.3, in the name of Ross Finnie, which seeks to amend motion S2M-559, in the name of Robin Harper, on sustainable Scotland, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
There will be a division.
