There are three questions to be put as a result of today’s business. The first question is, that motion S6M-13571, in the name of Gillian Mackay, on the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) (Scotland) Bill, be agreed to. As this is a motion to pass the bill at stage 3, the question must be decided by division. As members have been voting throughout the afternoon, I will allow a moment for members to refresh their voting apps.

Members should cast their votes now.
