There are potentially 10 questions to be put as a result of today's business.

In relation to this morning's debate on Trident, I point out that if the amendment in the name of Michael McMahon is agreed to, amendments in the name of Murdo Fraser and Mike Rumbles will fall. If the amendment in the name of Murdo Fraser is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Mike Rumbles will fall.

In relation to this morning's debate on carbon offsetting, if the amendment in the name of Sarah Boyack is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Alex Johnstone will fall.

The first question is, that amendment S3M-169.3, in the name of Michael McMahon, which seeks to amend motion S3M-169, in the name of Patrick Harvie, on Trident, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

The result of the division is: For 66, Against 60, Abstentions 0.

Motion, as amended, agreed to.

Resolved,

That the Parliament notes the growing popularity of carbon offsetting among individuals and private companies; believes that actions by polluters to reduce carbon emissions elsewhere, or to mitigate the effects of climate change, can play a useful role in supplementing sound environmental policy by government; considers however that carbon offsetting cannot substitute for policies that reduce carbon emissions directly and that any role for offsetting should only be transitional; notes the widely held concerns about many commercial offsetting schemes and the difficulty in verifying the true value of most offsetting schemes; notes the Scottish Government's intention to introduce carbon offsetting in respect of transport infrastructure projects, and calls on the Scottish Government, before introducing such proposals, to consider issues such as the need for rigorous independent assessments of the full direct and indirect carbon impact of each project and its associated offset and the related cost to the taxpayer of such schemes, continuous updating of data for the lifetime of the infrastructure to establish any changes required to the annual offset funding, compliance with the internationally-recognised Gold Standard and the need to ensure that overall policy, including transport policy, leads to direct emissions reductions.
