motion_text: The result of the division on amendment S5M-23958.3, in the name of Michael Russell, which seeks to amend motion S5M-23958, in the name of Donald Cameron, on prioritising Covid-19 vaccination and economic recovery, is: For 65, Against 56, Abstentions 0.
  S5M-23958.3: As an amendment to motion S5M-23958 in the name of Donald Cameron: (Prioritising COVID-19 Vaccination and Economic Recovery), leave out from “planning” to end and insert “the people of Scotland have the right to choose their own future and to escape the disastrous hard Brexit that Boris Johnson and the UK Conservative Administration are imposing on them; notes that the Scottish Government paused work on independence to focus on the pandemic in contrast to the UK Government, which recklessly pursued Brexit and ended the transition period at the worst possible time; supports the Scottish Government’s decision to follow the JCVI priority list for the first phase of the vaccination programme, which has been drawn up by independent experts to provide the greatest possible protection against preventable mortality from COVID-19; agrees that it is for the people of Scotland to decide what sort of country and economy should be built following the pandemic, and that therefore, should there be a majority in the next Parliament for an independence referendum after the pandemic, there can be no justification whatsoever to deny people in Scotland their democratic rights.”
  
  Original motion(S5M-23958):
  That the Parliament believes that planning an independence referendum in 2021, during an ongoing global pandemic, would be reckless and damaging; notes the Scottish National Party's plans to establish an independence taskforce and believes that this will divide Scotland when people should be united in tackling COVID-19 and supporting the economic recovery, and calls on the Scottish Government to instead establish a taskforce to speed up the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccination programme across Scotland.
