Thank you, cabinet secretary. I ask Katy Clark to wind up and press or withdraw amendment 28.

The result of the division is: For 4, Against 4, Abstentions 0. As there are equal votes for and against the amendment, I use my casting vote as convener to vote against it.

Amendment 52 disagreed to.

Does Pauline McNeill want to move amendment 53?

We move to the group on reports on bail and remand. Amendment 37, in the name of Katy Clark, is grouped with amendment 8.

Just to be absolutely clear, I will come back to Collette Stevenson and ask her to make any final winding-up comments and to indicate whether she wishes to press or withdraw amendment 67.

I call Katy Clark to wind up and say whether she wishes to press or withdraw amendment 55.

Collette Stevenson, do you want to move amendment 67?

I advise members, the cabinet secretary and her officials that we will pause proceedings once we have completed this group.
