There are seven questions to be put as a result of today's business.

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. Having had the benefit of hearing the earlier speeches of John Scott and Duncan McNeil, I seek the permission of the chamber to withdraw my Amendment S2M-3411.2.

Under our rule 8.6.4A, Mr Monteith may withdraw the Amendment in his name unless a member objects to its being withdrawn. If any member objects, they should shout "Object" now.

Object.

In that case, I have to put the question. The first question is, that Amendment S2M-3411.2, in the name of Brian Monteith, which seeks to amend motion S2M-3411, in the name of Duncan McNeil, on a report on the prioritisation of the non-Executive Bills unit's workload, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members:

No.
