 The next item of business is consideration of business motion 7375, in the name of George Adam, on behalf of the parliamentary bureau, on a change to future business. I call on George Adam to move the motion. Thank you, Presiding Officer, I moved. Thank you. I call on Alexander Burnett to speak to and move amendment 7375.2. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Obviously, we do not support the SNP's plans to make independence the very first thing Parliament debates in 2023. With all the issues facing Scotland right now and all the problems they could try to improve that lie within the Scottish Parliament's competence, they instead decide to waste time on a reserved matter. My amendment puts Scotland's issues into the agenda for 2023 and I encourage all self-respecting members of the Parliament to support it and I move the amendment in my name. Thank you. I call on Neil Bibby to speak to and move amendment 7375.1. Thank you, Presiding Officer. The minister and I have had many, many conversations over the last few weeks about the timetableing of parliamentary business, which I have enjoyed very much. I do have to say the suggestion that on the first day back in 2023 we should prioritise a debate on the SNP's general election strategy on a de facto referendum is not something I or Labour are going to support. I have consistently argued on the parliamentary bureau that we need to be responsive to the needs of our constituents and tackle the big issues facing them. Instead of discussing the Government's business suggested, we should be discussing the crisis affecting our NHS when we return in January. NHS workers could be on strike and that is frankly what should be at the top of our agenda. It is an extremely serious situation. If those strikes do come to pass, I believe that our constituents would be astonished at the idea that we would debate anything else. Not only that, and as Sarwar highlighted earlier today, there are very serious and significant concerns that need urgent attention, such as A and E waiting times, mental health waiting times for our children, cancer treatment and many more issues. We want to put forward our proposals for improving the situation right here and right now. Labour has long-term solutions to help to fix the NHS crisis, such as Labour's plan to end non-dom tax status and invest £3.2 billion in the NHS to provide the biggest expansion of medical training in the NHS's history. The first debate of 2023 should demonstrate what our priorities are for the year ahead. We believe that priority and that debate should be on the NHS and, therefore, I move the amendment in my name. I call on George Adam to respond on behalf of the parliamentary bureau. I find it somewhat ironic that those who are seeking to deny a democratic debate which highlights how the current constitutional settlement is denying democracy in Scotland. Frankly, the case for the people of Scotland to be given the choice and the chance of a better future is becoming stronger every day. With inflation running at 10 per cent, household incomes predicted to fall to 2014 levels, the economy in recession, people facing horrific choice between choosing between heat and eating this winter, millions facing eye-watering increases in their housing costs in 2023 and Brexit, of course, compounding all of these, creating labour shortages, trade barriers, higher business costs and lost tax income. All this shows that it is time for the people of Scotland to get the choice to choose a future where they are wealthier, healthier and happier. I will not ever apologise for encouraging this Parliament to debate the people of Scotland's right to choose their own future. The question is that amendment 7375.2, in the name of Alexander Burnett, which seeks to amend business motions 7375, in the name of George Adam on behalf of the parliamentary bureau, on a change to future business, be agreed. Are we all agreed? The Parliament is not agreed to, therefore we will move to a vote and members should cast their votes now. The vote is closed. Point of order, Marie McNair. I didn't refresh out the voted no. Thank you. We'll ensure that's recorded. The result of the vote on amendment number 7375.2, in the name of Alexander Burnett, is yes, 30. No, 68. There were 24 abstentions. The amendment is therefore not agreed. The next question is that amendment 7375.1, in the name of Neil Bibby, which seeks to amend business motions 7375, in the name of George Adam on behalf of the parliamentary bureau, on a change to future business, be agreed. Are we all agreed? No. The Parliament is not agreed, therefore we'll move to a vote and members should cast their votes now. The vote is closed. The result of the vote on amendment number 7375.1, in the name of Neil Bibby, is yes, 54. No, 68. There were no abstentions. The amendment is therefore not agreed. The next question is that motion 7375, in the name of George Adam, on behalf of the parliamentary bureau, on a change to future business, be agreed. Are we all agreed? No. The Parliament is not agreed, therefore we'll move to a vote and members should cast their votes now. The vote is closed. Point of order, Megan Gallacher. Thank you, Presiding Officer. My app froze. I would have voted no. Thank you. We'll ensure that's recorded. The result of the vote on motion 7375, in the name of George Adam, is yes, 68. No, 55. There were no abstentions. The motion is therefore agreed. The next item of business is portfolio questions. I'll allow a moment or two for front benches to organise themselves.
