A fydden nhw'n gweld i'n yn gweithio i'n gweithio i gyd, that services will be significantly improved, and if so, by when? Minister. Let me try to give some reassurances to the member where I can. As I have said in my previous answer, I do not think that the performance or the PPM levels are to the standard that we expect them. That is why I have instructed an improvement plan that comes to me and that changes are made. Let me try to give some perspective on what the member has said. The target that ScotRailer Belliol has is 91.3 per cent in terms of performance in the PPM target. They were just 1.6 per cent behind that. 1.6, they were at 89.7 per cent just for some perspective because I know that the member needs some of that perspective. When Labour had the franchise in 2005, they were at 84 per cent, 6 per cent lower than they currently are. Just to give some perspective as well, on the Glasgow South line, the PPM percentage is 97 per cent, on the Gwyrwch Wim's Bay, I know a service that the member uses himself, it is at 99 per cent. Yes, there are certainly improvements to be made. That is why an improvement plan has been put in place. Let us put that in perspective. The railways are not at collapse. There is not chaos as he paints. I know that Neil Bibby is usually a ray of eternal sunshine and positivity. I would request him to think positively about some of that. The improvement plan has been requested. I am sure that there will be improvements made, and you will see some action on that. Let us get some perspective on that. Yes, the PPM target has been missed by 1.6 per cent. I will be pushing ScotRailer Belliol further. Let us see what that improvement plan has been. Linda Fabiani I intend to write to the minister about that, but I would like to place on record some of the terrible travelling experiences that I am getting reports of from people on the east cobride to Glasgow line. Will the minister make sure that, when I send him this letter detailing some of the experiences that he has relayed to me over the past few weeks, he will very quickly have a look at it and raise that with ScotRail along with other issues? Yes, of course I will. It is important to say that anybody can pick out a weeks of statistics or a month of statistics, but over the year the performance has not been what I would expect it to be, but 89.7 per cent in terms of the PPM, punctuality and performance is in the right trajectory. We need to get to the targets that are set in the contract, the improvement plans in place and, hopefully, that will make a difference to the constituents in east cobride. Colin Beattie Can I ask the minister what measures the Scottish Government has taken to expand passenger capacity on Scotland's railways? Yes, the member raises an important point. Of course, the good news story on the railways is that the popularity of railways has grown by 27 per cent since 2007, so more people want to use railways, but the different side of that coin is that we have capacity issues in the network. In order to try to address that, there are a number of things that are in the franchise and in the contract. In April 2015, when the franchise was taken on by ScotRail Abelio, there were 287 trains in the fleet. That will increase to 336 by 2019. There will be 70 new Hitachi trains, more than 40 per cent extra seating planned by the end of 2018-2019. There are a whole host of other measures that we are taking in order to improve capacity. It is a big issue, and I am active in social media. I see a lot of people tweeting me about the capacity issues, and there are improvements being made. A new fleet of trains is coming in, which will help with that, but I can provide more detail to the member, perhaps in some written correspondence. To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on the reported views of businesses regarding slow broadband speeds in the Grangemouth area. The majority of homes and businesses in Grangemouth are served by commercial broadband services, and we will continue to press commercial providers to deliver the best possible service to as many homes and businesses as is possible. The Scottish Government's investment in the digital Scotland's superfast broadband programme has seen two new cabinets installed recently to serve areas of Grangemouth that would not have been reached commercially. The Scottish Government is committed to ensuring superfast broadband access for 100 per cent of premises by 2021. We intend to deliver new public investment via new procurements from next year, which will further improve broadband availability and speeds across Scotland. Does the minister agree with me that it is incredible in 2016 that in the industrial hub of Scotland businesses are reporting that they have been told that the best option was radio-based broadband beamed across the fourth all the way from Clackmannanshire? As I said in the answer that the member referred to, commercial services have provided broadband in cities throughout Britain. Unless I miss something, I have not heard the UK Government stating that it is a public obligation of the taxpayer to supplant the commercial activities of companies. That is not a proposition that one expects to hear from the Conservative party, but, despite that fact, I can inform members that, under the digital Scotland superfast broadband programme, 7,000 homes and businesses are being connected every week. An investment of £410 million is being made to make up for the fact that the UK's ambition is far less than that of the Scottish Government. Angus MacDonald, I had discussions with a senior official from Falkirk Council on this very subject just last Friday, and he advised me that they are actively pursuing wireless broadband options for my constituency. What can the Scottish Government do to assist Falkirk Council in their efforts to improve broadband provision in Grange West and the wider Falkirk District and source alternative technology to allow better broadband speeds for local businesses? We work with Falkirk Council and other bodies to help to extend digital connectivity in the area. A range of technologies will be required to deliver our shared broadband ambitions. Community broadband Scotland is already supporting a number of communities to procure wireless broadband solutions. The Scottish Government is also supporting trials of innovative TV white space technology in Orkney, for example, which could support wireless broadband delivery in future. I will ensure that the good points that my colleague Mr MacDonald raises are followed up with Falkirk Council in the coming days to discuss their plans in more detail. Richard Lyle Thank you, Presiding Officer. Is the Cabinet Secretary as tired as I am of hearing the Tories' complain about the Scottish Government's approach to digital connectivity when the Tory Government at Westminster does not even have an ambitious target for roll-out as it exists here in Scotland? Richard Lyle Well, Tory fatigue is just one of the malaisies that we must all hear in the Scottish Parliament. To answer the question, the Scottish Government has made clear that we intend to go far further than the UK Government in digital connectivity. The UK's ambition is lesser, and its USO will deliver speeds of just 10 megabits per second far below the superfast target in Scotland. What we are doing in Scotland, although we have a long way to go yet, as we admit, will be far more ambitious than what our counterparts seek to deliver at Downsouth. Michael Matheson Point of order, Ms Findlay. Michael Matheson Today, in an answer to an inspired parliamentary question from Gil Paterson, announced a review of undercover policing in Scotland since the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Scotland Act 2004. I have been raising the issues of unethical and illegal undercover policing for the last few years, and I have called for a full and independent public inquiry, the same as is happening in England and Wales. What has been announced today is not a public inquiry. The review announced today fails to address the concerns of victims prior to the year 2000. The Pitchford inquiry in England and Wales will look back to 1968. The review fails to provide an avenue for victims to prevent their evidence and to hear from witnesses, and the review will not look at the activities of undercover officers during events such as the anti-poltax campaign, the minor strike, and the peak period when thousands of construction workers were blacklisted. Can you use your good office to ensure that the cabinet secretary comes to Parliament next week to make a statement on this review so that MSPs can ask questions on behalf of their constituents? Sneaking this out at the tail of the week in an inspired PQ with no opportunity for questions simply will not do. I thank Mr Finlay for his point of order. Mr Finlay makes a number of questions about a Government statement and announcement today. There are clearly questions that need to be put to the Government, and I would ask the Government to take cognisance or other business managers to take cognisance, as it would have any other request. Mr Finlay can make use of his own resources, put down written questions, as he would with any other matter, and can make full utilisation of all the Parliamentary facilities in doing so. The point has been noted that it is not a point of order, however. We now move to decision time, and there are six questions as a result of today's business. The first question is that amendment 1580.1, in the name of Murdo Fraser, which seeks to amend motion 1580 in the name of Derek Mackayr on reforming local taxation, be agreed to? Yes. Were not agreed, Parliament will move to a vote, and members may cast their vote now. The result of the vote on amendment 1580.1, in the name of Murdo Fraser, is as follows. Yes, 64, no 63, there were no abstentions, the amendment is therefore agreed. The next question is that amendment 1580.2, in the name of Jackie Baillie, which seeks to amend motion 1580 in the name of Derek Mackayr, be agreed to? Are we all agreed? No. Were not agreed, Parliament will move to a vote, and members may cast their votes now. The result of the vote on amendment 1580.2, in the name of Jackie Baillie, is as follows. Yes, 34, no, 93, there were no abstentions, the amendment is therefore not agreed. The next question is that amendment 1580.3, in the name of Andy Wightman, which seeks to amend the motion in the name of Derek Mackayr, be agreed to? Are we all agreed? No. Were not agreed, Parliament will move to a vote, and members may cast their votes now. The result of the vote on amendment 1580.3, in the name of Andy Wightman, is as follows. Yes, 6, no, 121, there were no abstentions, the amendment is therefore not agreed. The next question is that motion 1580, in the name of Derek Mackayr, as amended, be agreed. Are we all agreed? No. Were not agreed, Parliament will move to a vote, and members may cast their votes now. The result of the vote on motion 1580, in the name of Derek Mackayr, as amended, is as follows. Yes, 63, no, 63, and there were no abstentions. As the vote is tied, and the Parliament has been unable to reach a view on the motion, I have to exercise my casting vote, and in line with the approach taken by my predecessors and outlined in members in my recent letter, I will cast against the motion. The motion is therefore not agreed. We will now move to the next question. The question is that motion 1581, in the name of Rachael Hamilton, which seeks to amend motion 1581 in the name of Rachael Hamilton, be agreed. Are we all agreed? We are all agreed. The final question is that motion 1581, in the name of Fiona Hyslop, as amended, on securing Scotland's position as the perfect stage for events to be agreed. Are we all agreed? We are all agreed. That concludes decision time.
