There is one question to be put as a result of today’s business. The question is, that motion S6M-07727, in the name of John Swinney, on the Budget (Scotland) (No 2) Bill, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

No.

The Presiding Officer:

There will be a division.

We will have a brief suspension to allow members to access the digital voting system.

17:01 Meeting suspended.

17:04 On resuming—

The question is, that motion S6M-07727, in the name of John Swinney, be agreed to. Members should cast their votes now.

I call George Adam to cast a proxy vote on behalf of Jamie Hepburn.

On behalf of Jamie Hepburn, I vote yes.

The Presiding Officer:

The vote is now closed.

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. My system crashed. I would have voted no.

The Presiding Officer:

Thank you. We will ensure that that is recorded.

The Presiding Officer:

The result of the division is: For 68, Against 56, Abstentions 0.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees to the general principles of the Budget (Scotland) (No. 2) Bill.

That concludes decision time. Members who are leaving the chamber should do so quietly.
