I have heard in the conversation the question whether we can get to the place where communities lead with councils supporting and facilitating more nuanced local need, and then developers coming in to deliver what communities are looking for. Currently, we seem to have developers leading, especially in housing, but we are now talking about place making much more—thank you for bringing that in. Can we turn things around so that, instead of developers identifying land and saying that that is where things need to happen, communities say what needs they see, and there is then facilitation? You talk about the SOLACE report dealing with partnership working. I guess that that is what it is, but it is about the emphasis on who leads and how we get to the point at which communities have a sense of agency and a sense that they can lead in the first place.

I remind members that, if amendment 10 is agreed to, I will not be able to call amendments 44 or 45, due to pre-emption.

Amendment 10 agreed to.

Amendment 11 moved—[Paul McLennan]—and agreed to.

I note for clarity that amendment 55 is not in this group. I heard some rustling of papers.

I invite the minister to speak to amendment 42 and other amendments in the group.

We move to the next group of amendments, which is on communication and consultation. Amendment 5, in the name of Graham Simpson, is grouped with amendments 55 and 2.

I call amendment 52, also in the name of Pam Duncan-Glancy.

There will be a division.

For

Briggs, Miles (Lothian) (Con)
Gosal, Pam (West Scotland) (Con)
Griffin, Mark (Central Scotland) (Lab)

Against

Beattie, Colin (Midlothian North and Musselburgh) (SNP)
Burgess, Ariane (Highlands and Islands) (Green)
Callaghan, Stephanie (Uddingston and Bellshill) (SNP)
Coffey, Willie (Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley) (SNP)

Does Pam Duncan-Glancy wish to move amendment 58?

Does Graham Simpson want to press or withdraw amendment 17?

The next group is on the power to evacuate. Amendment 63, in the name of Miles Briggs, is grouped with amendments 23, 24 and 65.

The next group of amendments is on notices. Amendment 26, in the name of the minister, is grouped with amendments 33 and 34.
