The question is, that amendment 6 be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

There will be a division.

For

Burgess, Ariane (Highlands and Islands) (Green)
Callaghan, Stephanie (Uddingston and Bellshill) (SNP)
Coffey, Willie (Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley) (SNP)
Griffin, Mark (Central Scotland) (Lab)
MacDonald, Gordon (Edinburgh Pentlands) (SNP)

Against

Briggs, Miles (Lothian) (Con)
Gosal, Pam (West Scotland) (Con)

I call Miles Briggs to wind up, and to press or withdraw amendment 37.

As no other member wishes to speak to amendment 17, I invite the minister to wind up.

I call amendment 21. I point out that if amendment 21 is agreed to, I cannot call amendment 9. I ask Sarah Boyack to say whether she wishes to move amendment 21.

Amendment 21 not moved.

Amendment 9 moved—[Tom Arthur]—and agreed to.

Section 12, as amended, agreed to.

My point is about how to make that workable across the board, because there is also the issue of the impact on mainland local authorities. That should be looked at, but probably not as a part of this bill.

I call the minister.

Amendment 26, in the name of Miles Briggs, is grouped with amendments 18, 1 and 2.

The next group is on review of the act. Amendment 50, in the name of Miles Briggs, is the only amendment in the group.

The next group of amendments is on inspections. Amendment 17, in the name of the minister, is the only amendment in the group.

That ends our consideration of the bill at stage 2. I suspend the meeting briefly to allow the minister and his officials to leave the room.
