I shall now put the question. The question is that the Bill, subject to the proposed amendments, be agreed to.
In accordance with Rule 63, I shall first allow political parties to make a declaration of vote if they so wish. Is there any political party that wishes to make a declaration of vote? There is none.
We shall now proceed to vote on the question. Before I call for votes, please press button number one to confirm your presence. There should be lights flashing. Are your lights flashing? If not, the service officers will assist you. Those in favour please press button number four, those against press button number two and those who are abstaining press button number three. Voting is now open. Are there any members who wish to be assisted with manual voting? Please indicate by a show of hands. Have all members voted?
If any member has mistakenly voted in a way that he or she did not wish to, he or she has an opportunity to correct that, whether electronically or manually. In the absence of anyone needing assistance, I request the tally.
Thank you very much, hon members. There were no abstentions and no objections. Therefore the majority of the House voted in favour of the Bill.
