Hon Watson, I said they had voted, and we withheld those votes. But now the mandate is here, they can vote. May I continue?
I shall now put the question in respect of the Third Order. The question put is that the Bill be agreed to.
In accordance with Rule 63, I shall first allow political parties to make their declarations of vote, if they so wish. Is there any party that wants to make a declaration? None.
We shall now proceed to the voting on the question. Before I call the vote, please press button number one to confirm your presence, all hon members, not delegation heads only.
There should be lights flashing. If not, the service officers will assist you. May I draw the attention of the service officers to please be on the alert to assist members.
Could you please give everybody the voting papers, because the machines are not working? Are they? But for those that are not working, the staff will be moving around to take manual votes.
Have all members voted? In case there is any member who has mistakenly pressed the incorrect button, he or she has an opportunity to press the correct button.
Voting is closed. Could the Table staff submit the results? Have all members submitted their votes?
Forty two members have voted in favour. [Applause.] I therefore declare the Bill agreed to in terms of section 75 of the Constitution. Bill agreed to in accordance with section 75 of the Constitution.
