– in the Scottish Parliament at 5:01 pm on 24 September 2009.
There are 10 questions to be put as a result of today's business. I remind members that, in relation to the debate on teacher numbers, if the amendment in the name of Keith Brown is agreed to, the amendment in the name of Margaret Smith falls.
The first question is, that amendment S3M-4910.3, in the name of Keith Brown, which seeks to amend motion S3M-4910, in the name of Rhona Brankin, on teacher numbers, be agreed to. Are we all agreed?
There will be a division.
