Abstentions

The result of the division on motion S7M-01988, in the name of Jamie Hepburn, is: For 73, Against 38, Abstentions 1.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament agrees to the general principles of the Scottish Local Government Elections (Candidacy Rights of Commonwealth Citizens) Bill.
The next question is, that motion S7M-01993, in the name of Jamie Hepburn, on remembering the service of the armed forces community, be agreed to.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament pays tribute to all individuals across Scotland, the UK, the Commonwealth and Allied Nations who were harmed or killed in war; is grateful to those who served and sacrificed to build the relative peace and freedoms that people enjoy today; acknowledges the enduring importance of the Remembrance period to families and communities and the importance of maintaining awareness amongst younger generations as events become more distant; remembers all victims of wars, those that happened in the past as well as those happening now, and recognises Scotland’s Veterans and Armed Forces community and the significant contribution that they continue to make to the nation.
That concludes decision time.
