Therefore, we will move to voting time. As indicated on the agenda, today's votes will be conducted in accordance with Standing Order 34.11. Each political group may nominate one Member of the group to carry the same number of votes as there are Members. A nominee will carry the same number of votes as there are Members of that group, plus any other Members of the Government. Members who do not belong to a group or grouping will vote for themselves. I will conduct the vote by roll call.
