There are four questions to be put as a result of today’s business.

I remind members that, if the amendment in the name of Douglas Lumsden is agreed to, the amendments in the name of Sarah Boyack and Lorna Slater will fall.

The first question is, that amendment S6M-14431.2, in the name of Douglas Lumsden, which seeks to amend motion S6M-14431, in the name of Kate Forbes, on the programme for government—growing Scotland’s green economy, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members::

No.
