There is one question to be put as a result of today’s business. The question is, that motion S6M-12995, in the name of Jackson Carlaw, on behalf of the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee, on petition PE1887, on creating an unborn victims of violence act, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament notes public petition PE1887 on creating a specific offence that enables courts to hand down longer sentences where miscarriage has been caused through acts of domestic violence.
