The result of the division is: For 64, Against 38, Abstentions 16.

Resolved,

That the Parliament supports the Scudamore report's conclusions on Scotland's handling of the 2007 foot and mouth disease outbreak, contained in Foot and Mouth Disease Review (Scotland) 2007, and welcomes the Scottish Government's commitment to take the recommendations forward, including consideration of any potential opportunities for regionalisation and other steps such as the role that local abattoirs might play and the unique circumstances of Scotland's islands; notes however the continuing difficulties experienced by the pig industry; calls on the Scottish Government to take urgent action to support the Scottish pig industry and to consider further action to minimise the potential future disruption to the Scottish livestock industry; notes the continued economic impact of the outbreak on Scotland's beef, sheep and pig farmers; calls on the Scottish Government to address proactively the continuing decline in livestock numbers across Scotland; believes that, although the devolution settlement has largely been a success for Scottish agriculture, the current position whereby Scotland decides on animal health policy but has no control over its funding is an anomaly of the Scotland Act 1998, which is detrimental to relationships between the two administrations, and calls on the Scottish Government to press the case for devolving a proportionate share of the animal health budget currently held at Westminster to Scotland, while preserving the right to access the UK Treasury reserve fund.

The 10 ^th question is, that motion S3M-2648, in the name of Bruce Crawford, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on committee membership, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament agrees that— Cathie Craigie be appointed to replace Charlie Gordon as a member of the Audit Committee; Wendy Alexander be appointed to replace David Whitton as a member of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee; Claire Baker be appointed to replace Mary Mulligan as a member of the Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee; Malcolm Chisholm be appointed to replace Richard Baker as a member of the Equal Opportunities Committee; Charlie Gordon be appointed to replace Malcolm Chisholm as a member of the European and External Relations Committee; David Whitton and Jackie Baillie be appointed to replace Elaine Murray and Tom McCabe as members of the Finance Committee; Jackie Baillie be appointed to replace Rhoda Grant as a member of the Health and Sport Committee; Mary Mulligan be appointed to replace Johann Lamont as a member of the Local Government and Communities Committee; Marlyn Glen and Bill Butler be appointed to replace Rhoda Grant and Claire Baker as members of the Public Petitions Committee; Elaine Murray be appointed to replace Des McNulty as a member of the Rural Affairs and Environment Committee; Peter Peacock and Marilyn Livingstone be appointed to replace Cathie Craigie and Marlyn Glen as members of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee; Malcolm Chisholm and Tom McCabe be appointed to replace John Park and Jackie Baillie as members of the Subordinate Legislation Committee; Des McNulty be appointed to replace David Stewart as a member of the Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee.

The 11 ^th question is, that motion S3M-2649, in the name of Bruce Crawford, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on substitution on committees, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament agrees that— David Whitton be appointed to replace George Foulkes as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee; Cathy Peattie be appointed to replace Claire Baker as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee; Johann Lamont be appointed to replace John Park as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Equal Opportunities Committee; Ken Macintosh be appointed to replace Jackie Baillie as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the European and External Relations Committee; Lewis Macdonald be appointed to replace Peter Peacock as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Finance Committee; Frank McAveety be appointed to replace Irene Oldfather as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Health and Sport Committee; Richard Simpson be appointed to replace Marlyn Glen as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Justice Committee; Paul Martin be appointed to replace Rhoda Grant as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Local Government and Communities Committee; Claire Baker be appointed to replace Marilyn Livingstone as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Public Petitions Committee; Rhoda Grant be appointed to replace David Stewart as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Rural Affairs and Environment Committee; Mary Mulligan be appointed to replace Trish Godman as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee; David Stewart be appointed to replace Richard Baker as the Scottish Labour Party substitute on the Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee.

On a point of order, Presiding Officer, I apologise to you and the chamber if I am error in raising this, but I may have inadvertently voted for Mr MacAskill and not Mr Fraser. If I have done a Cathie Craigie—[ Laughter ]—should my recourse be to the Official Report or is it enough that I have put it on record?

As Ms MacDonald is fully aware, that is not a point of order. The matter is now on the public record. I hope that she is satisfied. I now close this meeting of Parliament. No—I do not; we move to the members' business debate.
