That concludes the debate. I shall now put the question in respect of the First Order. The question is that the Bill be agreed to.
In accordance with Rule 71, I shall first allow provinces the opportunity to make their declaration of vote, if they so wish. Before I continue, are all your cards in, or where they are not working, can the members be supplied with the voting papers?
I now call upon the provinces to vote: Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, North West and the Western Cape. Have all the provinces voted? Voting will close. Could the Table staff submit the results?
Hon members, as we all understand the ruling, the Northern Cape has not sent in the relevant paper. So, in that case, it means then that the Northern Cape vote will not be accepted. Can the Northern Cape make a follow-up on that, that the mandate was not received?
