 That concludes the debate on legislative consent motion to the Environment Bill. It is now time to move on to the next item of business. That is an urgent question, and I call Paul Sweeney. Minister Graham Day. Rwy'n cael ei fyfwyr, ond y Cyngor Prif Weiniddiadol, o'r pwysig ar y Gymraeg Placem yn ddiddordeb tickon mawr i немного yn awr. Felly mae'r ty пойw i'r newid hefydol sy'n ddevw i'r hollffiannau gwahanol i dda i'r cymaint ar datyn y cyffredin niwrn g feelsigol ym yma yn tyfael. Rydw i'n ddiddordeb hynny mae gael i'r ysgav, ac mae'n dechrau i'r cyffredin niwrn i木 i'r cychwyn i deliveredu. Ysgav hyn yn cael eu cyfwyr yma ac y mae'n i ddim yn hyrwm oedd yn deinloedd.

Diolch i'r gweithio'r rhywun i gael i ddim i'r amgwg wrthoedd a'i'r unrhyw o'r disoedd koleiol a'r oedd gan gynghoril cyfl為ol coq26 yn mewn Slyngwr i gael i'r prifnwys i ar y dyfodiad Cymru. Myr hwn nesafol bod lluniau i gael ffawr hir of the moment and we'll work with ScotRail to resolve this dispute and we're obviously encouraged by the fact that the talks have adjourned until later this week. Paul Sweeney. I refer to my register of interests, member of the Unite Trade Union. In the past couple of days, 20 ScotRail employees in depots across the country were sent home, effectively locked out of their workplaces, for refusing to operate machinery that they do not have necessary accreditation or training to operate. That comes against the backdrop of the continued and on-going pay disputes that the minister referred to. As a result, Unite Trade Union members have overwhelmingly backed strike action in October and November, including during COP26. That means three days of strike action will take place on Scotland's railways during the most important climate conference in history. Can I ask the minister to see it endorse Abelio's decision to send those workers home using anti-trade union tactics, which fly in the face of the Scottish Government's fair work convention, simply for exercising their right to withdraw their labour? Mr Sweeney having declared his interest is entitled to interpret what may or may not have happened in whatever way he sees fit. I have spoken directly to Unite this morning on this matter. There were a number of staff members who may have found themselves in that situation and we've raised this issue with ScotRail. What I would say to the chamber is that in an industrial dispute, there is a lot of rhetoric, assertion and acclaim. What we need is for CAMHEDs for people to get round the table and work constructively to resolve everything in that situation. Whilst I welcome the hint that there may well be a revised offer, with respect to the minister, I tend to trust the integrity of workers and their trade union representatives to tell the truth in that matter. While the Government has made an effort to respond, which I commend, it seems to me that it is trying to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted. The situation should never have been allowed to deteriorate to this point. The fact of the matter is that the Government has steadfastly refused for a matter of over 18 months to engage meaningfully with this pay dispute. Workers' morale is at an all-time low and they have been left with no option but to vote for this strike action. This is not a boat from the blue, it is not a malicious act. It is a result of sustained behaviour that is unacceptable by the employer. We now face the prospect of Scotland being an international laughing stock as delegates of the COP26 conference cannot use public transport because of a bellio's intransigence in this Government's seeming indifference. On that basis, can I ask the minister what the next steps are if the revised pay offer that is currently under discussion is refused by the trade unions also will make it clear to a bellio that the lockouts—which they are, lockouts—indisputably are totally unacceptable? Will the instructive bellio halt that practice before the situation escalates any further? Once again, I refer back to the declaration of interests that Mr Sweeney made. Therein lies part of the problem. This is a dispute that needs to be resolved by everybody coming together to resolve it. I have encouraged, over a long period of time—I should remind them that I have only been imposed for five months—all sides here to engage constructively. I am pleased to see the approach that it has taken today. It is in no one's interest for this dispute to continue and it is in no one's interest for it to impact the COP. Rather than standing there with the greatest respect to Mr Sweeney portraying one side of the argument, I hope that he will come away from the chamber and encourage the trade unions to engage constructively, as I have done with them and with ScotRail, to get this resolved and we all move on. John Mason, I wonder if the minister can reassure us that he will be encouraging ScotRail management to settle his dispute within the budget that it has. We know that passenger revenues are down and we do not want to be switching more money out of the NHS into the railways. I am not going to inflame the situation in any way by talking about the nature of the discussions that took place today, because I do hope that they have moved on in the course of the afternoon. However, I will reassure the member that the settlement that is being discussed—the resolution that is being discussed—would be affordable within the existing real budget. The minister is right that it takes two sides to resolve a dispute, but it is within his gift to get involved. Will he take a direct part in the talks tomorrow? If not, why not? As I pointed out to the member, if he has been listening, the talks adjourned this afternoon and they do not resume until Thursday. Tomorrow's discussions are with Asleth. It is not for the role of a Government minister to be directly involved in talks of its nature. That is for the employers and the unions to do, but the fact is that we have got to this point because of the encouragement and support of the Government to get a resolution. I reiterate today that both sides need to get around this in a constructive manner, and if they do, I believe that we can get this resolved. Last week, a point of order was raised about the provision of information, including draft regulations in respect of the vaccine certification scheme. I undertook to look at the matter in more detail and to return to the chamber if I thought it necessary. As members know, it is my view that information should always be provided to the Parliament in as timious a fashion as possible. Members may wish to be aware that last session, a protocol was put in place with the Scottish Government that confirms the processes for scrutiny of Covid measures and the information that will be provided to the Parliament to better enable that scrutiny. That includes the provision of draft regulations to the Covid committee on a Wednesday afternoon following any statement from the Scottish Government. The protocol was agreed last session as part of a package of enhanced security measures. I wish to inform Parliament that I plan to invite the bureau to review the protocol to ensure that it remains content with its operation. We have arrived, potentially, at decision time earlier than we might have expected. I invite the minister to move a motion without notice to bring forward decision time to now. Are members content to agree that decision time will be brought forward to now? The next item of business is decision time. There are three questions to be put as a result of today's business. I remind members that, if the amendment in the name of Donald Cameron is agreed, then the amendment in the name of Monica Lennon will fall. The first question is that amendment 1512.1, in the name of Donald Cameron, which seeks to amend motion 1512, in the name of Michael Matheson, on legislative consent to the environment bill, will be agreed. Are we all agreed? The Parliament is not agreed, therefore we will move to a vote and there will be a short suspension to allow members to access the digital voting system.
