I call Ariane Burgess to speak to amendment 1 and the other amendments in the group.

Amendment 1, in the name of Ariane Burgess, has already been debated with amendment 19.

Are you concluding, minister?

Christine Grahame has a question.

The question is, that amendment 59 be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

There will be a division.

For

Burgess, Ariane (Highlands and Islands) (Green)
Carson, Finlay (Galloway and West Dumfries) (Con)
Hamilton, Rachael (Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire) (Con)
Wishart, Beatrice (Shetland Islands) (LD)

Against

Adam, Karen (Banffshire and Buchan Coast) (SNP)
Beattie, Colin (Midlothian North and Musselburgh) (SNP)
Grant, Rhoda (Highlands and Islands) (Lab)
Harper, Emma (South Scotland) (SNP)
Roddick, Emma (Highlands and Islands) (SNP)

Okay. That is grand.

Do members agree to move this agenda item to next week?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you.

I will kick off. We have a number of themes and our first is “Reforming consenting—towards a single framework”. How has the planning and consenting regime for salmon farms changed since the publication of the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee report?

I am conscious of time. I have a brief question, and I am hoping that we will get a brief response. Are the lines of responsibility clear for planning enforcement and ensuring that the conditions are met? If there is no information sharing, is there any possibility that issues could fall between the slats?

We will move on to our final theme—community engagement.
