So, it is now voting time. Unless three Members wish for the bell to be rung, I intend to proceed—[Interruption.] You want to ring the bell. Okay. Three people show me they want to ring the bell, please. Thank you. Ring the bell.

The bell was rung to call Members to the Chamber.

We have reached the five minutes, and I would hasten a guess that you were standing outside waiting for me to call time, but I wouldn't be so cruel as to say that.

So, we now move to voting time, and the first vote this afternoon is the Standards of Conduct Committee report 02-19, and I call for a vote on the motion tabled in the name of Jayne Bryant. Open the vote. Close the vote. For the motion 37, four abstentions, 12 against. Therefore, the motion is agreed.
