And with that, MPs adjourned for the day.
They will return tomorrow at 11.30am for treasury questions, followed by the hot ticket event- day one of committee stage debate on the European Union Referendum Bill.

Energy and Climate Change Minister Andrea Leadsom addresses the concerned Poole, Dorset and Bournemouth MPs present in the House.
She tells them she recognises the "importance to local communities of the potential local impacts of energy projects", and the fine line between the benefits and the repercussions of such projects.
She says she "cannot point out of the specific merits" as it will be "prejudicial" to the planning process.
The Planning Inspectorate has reviewed the plans and made a recommendation to the Department for Energy who is due to make a decision on the plans by 11 September.

Richard Drax wraps up by saying the government needs to stick to its promise of "protecting our precious natural environment from uninformed and destructive decisions".
The "crux" of the argument, says the MP, is that there are plenty of other places where the wind turbines could be raised.

The proposals for the Navitus Baywind farm, off the Dorset Coast, involve erecting up to 121 turbines, each 200m tall, nine miles from the coast.
Richard Drax says "millions of people travel for the unspoilt view" that the coastline provides and this effect on tourism is the "greatest concern" for local councils.
He mentions UNESCO's concerns that the wind turbines will affect the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and he fears it could lose its world heritage designation.

New Clause 10 is rejected by a majority of 246 MPs. Which brings us to the end of the first day of the committee stage debate on the Scotland Bill.
The chamber slowly empties as Conservative MP Richard Drax starts to move his adjournment debate on Navtius Bay Wind Farm.

New Clause 5 falls by 35 votes, with 309 against and 274 for.
MPs move onto voting on New Clause 10, another SNP amendment, which if approved, would mean that the UK Parliament could only legislate in devolved areas with the consent of the Scottish Parliament. i.e. putting the Sewel Convention on the statute book.

New Clause 3 has fallen with 298 MPs voting against it, to 68 in favour.
And yes, the House divides again.
This vote relates to another new clause from Edward Leigh, which requires the express consent of the Scottish Parliament if the UK Parliament wishes to repeal the the Human Rights Act 1998, as it applies to Scotland.

Parliament
MPs vote against new clause 2, but divide again on Conservative MP Edward Leigh's new clause 3, which would give the Scottish Parliament powers over financial and economic matters, home affairs, trade and industry, energy, transport, social security.... amongst others (the full list can be found here, external).

Seems MPs can't get enough of divisions today as they go back to the lobbies for a fourth time to vote on adding new clause 2 to the Scotland Bill.
Labour's New Clause 2 would establish a constitutional convention to design future governance arrangements for the UK.

Amendment 89 is rejected by 249 votes.

And the House divides again.
This time it's on the SNP's amendment 89 that would allow the Scottish Parliament to amend the Scotland Act 1998 on matters relating to taxation, borrowing and public expenditure, so it could then provide full fiscal autonomy for Scotland.

Deputy Commons Leader Therese Coffey addresses the SNP's amendment on removing the Human Rights Act from the list of protected provisions and says she is "aware" of the devolution implications of reform and will seek to engage with the relevant parties.
SNP MP Pete Wishart says "that's not good enough" and demands she go away and come back with a "more substantial response".
Joanna Cherry withdraws her amendment, saying her party will return to this matter at a later stage in the bill's procession through parliament.

SNP MP Joanna Cherry moves her amendment to remove the Human Rights Act 1998 from the list of protected provisions. There is a "possibility of a clash with the Scottish and Westminster Parliament," she says, if the government decides to go ahead with the repeal of the Human Rights Act.
The SNP opposes the government's planned overhaul of human rights legislation, not just in Scotland, but for "the whole of the UK".
Ms Cherry says her amendment would give the Scottish Parliament the freedom to establish its own "human rights regime", regardless of the changes happening in Westminster.

"Division!" bellows the Deputy Speaker
MPs divide on Labour's amendment 43, which prevents a referendum being held on the same day as a Scottish Parliament election under reserved powers.

John Penrose awards "top marks on ingenuity" to the Shadow Constitutional and Political Reform Minister for "shoehorning" his amendment (on ensuring a referendum not be held on the same day as Scottish Parliament elections) early on in committee stage.
As to Graham Allen's amendments, he says the bill already defers powers to Scottish ministers on how to conduct elections, which are "sufficient" and means they can set rules on online voting and automatic registration if they choose. Therefore, Mr Allen's "amendments are unnecessary", he says.
