There are six questions to be put as a result of today’s business. I advise members that, if the amendment in the name of Katherine Sangster is agreed to, the amendments in the name of Victor Currie, Murdo Fraser and David Green will fall. If the amendment in the name of Victor Currie is agreed to, the amendments in the name of Murdo Fraser and David Green will fall, and if the amendment in the name of Murdo Fraser is agreed to, the amendment in the name of David Green will fall.

The first question is, that amendment S7M-01962.1, in the name of Katherine Sangster, which seeks to amend motion S7M-01962, in the name of Màiri McAllan, on the BBC and public service broadcasting in Scotland, be agreed to. Are we agreed?

The result of the division on motion S7M-01962, in the name of Màiri McAllan, on the BBC and public service broadcasting in Scotland, as amended, is: For 70, Against 48, Abstentions 0.

Motion, as amended, agreed to,

That the Parliament opposes the BBC's proposal to close the linear BBC Scotland channel and to discontinue Reporting Scotland: News at Seven; expresses concern that proposed changes could reduce access to Scottish news and public broadcasting, particularly for audiences who rely on traditional television services, and could impact jobs and investment in Scotland; highlights the contribution of broadcasting to Scotland's economy through investment in skilled jobs, the screen sector and the creative industries workforce; notes the importance of fair and sustainable support for Gaelic media and the continuing disparity in funding between Gaelic-language and Welsh-language broadcasting; believes that licence fee revenues raised in Scotland should be reinvested in full in Scotland; recognises the opportunity presented by the ongoing BBC Charter Review to deliver greater accountability, representation and investment for Scotland; believes that BBC television and radio must authentically reflect the lives of people in Scotland; calls on the UK Government to devolve responsibility for broadcasting to the Scottish Parliament; believes that the Charter Review should secure creative origination in Scotland, with commissioning decisions and ownership of intellectual property resting with independent producers based in Scotland; recognises the BBC as a vital public good that faces an existential threat without a sustainable settlement; expresses concern at the commercialisation of core BBC services and believes that the answer lies in fair, sustainable public funding that keeps services universal and affordable, and calls on the UK Government to ensure that digital terrestrial television services are not discontinued until every household has an affordable alternative.
