The result of the division is: For 81, Against 34, Abstentions 0.

Motion, as amended, agreed to,

That the Parliament believes that women and men play an equal role in Scotland’s public sector; notes with concern that women continue to be underrepresented on the boards of Scotland’s public sector organisations; understands that barriers continue to exist for women gaining a place on such boards; welcomes the steps that the Scottish Government has taken to address this imbalance through the Diversity Delivers strategy, including the establishment of the public appointments and diversity centre of expertise to advise on and administer the public appointments process across the Scottish Government; recognises the work that has been undertaken to increase the application and appointment rates for underrepresented groups, including women in public appointments, resulting in 34% of public appointments in 2011-12 being held by women; recognises that, while there has been progress on some strands of diversity, further work is required, and therefore agrees that there should be an open event hosted by the Scottish Government and supported by the Public Appointments Commissioner to review the progress of the Diversity Delivers strategy in relation to gender equality and to consider further actions to make sure that there is further progress toward improved women’s representation in public life.

The motion is agreed to. [Interruption.] Members really need to speak up. If the answer is no, you should shout no loudly. I am prepared to rerun the vote, but I give warning that in future you really do need to be louder than you are at the moment.

The question is—[Interruption.] Perhaps if there was a bit of silence in the chamber we could hear it when people shout no.

Motion, as amended, agreed to,

That the Parliament notes that an estimated 4,000 women in Scotland are believed to have received breast implants manufactured by Poly Implant Prothèse (PiP); supports the ongoing criminal investigation in France into the former owner of PiP, Jean Claude Mas, for his role in the manufacture and distribution of the substandard implants containing industrial grade silicone; notes that the Scottish Government is working with the UK Government on the three UK-wide reviews; welcomes the findings of the report, Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP) silicone breast implants: Review of the actions of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Department of Health, which found that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority took appropriate action based on the information made available to it; looks forward to the outcome of the expert group looking at the rupture rate data and toxicology testing led by Sir Bruce Keogh, which is due to report later this month, and the review looking at the regulation of the cosmetic industry also being led by Sir Bruce Keogh, which will report by March 2013, and commends NHSScotland for the action taken by it to ensure that it responded appropriately by making information and advice available to women and ensuring that, where the private healthcare sector was unable or unwilling to provide a clinically appropriate package of care, NHSScotland provided appropriate care.

The next question is, that motion S4M-03295, in the name of Angela Constance, on young people and economic growth, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament believes that recruiting young people makes good business sense and is crucial to sustainable economic growth; notes that the employers’ survey carried out by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills showed that the majority of employers in Scotland that recruited a young person straight from school, college or university were satisfied with their skills; welcomes the £25 million of European Structural Funds announced on 9 May 2012 to support youth employment over the next two years, and agrees that this should be focused on supporting young people into work in small and medium-sized businesses.
