We're back tomorrow from 11:30 for the build up to the inaugural first minister's questions of this fifth session of the Scottish Parliament, which begins at 12:30. 

Until then have a good night. 

The Scottish Parliament has voted to support an outright ban on fracking after SNP MSPs abstained.

Labour MSP Claudia Beamish tabled an amendment saying there "should" be a full ban as part of an environment debate headed by new cabinet secretary Roseanna Cunningham.

After SNP members abstained, the amendment was passed by 32 votes to 29, with 62 abstentions.

Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse said there needed to be proper research and a public consultation before a decision was taken on fracking.

The amendment is not a binding policy, but represents a defeat for the SNP, which supports a moratorium on fracking but stops short of backing a full ban.

The SNP's manifesto for the Holyrood election committed to there being no fracking in Scotland "unless it can be proven beyond doubt that there is no risk to health, communities or the environment".

Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens favour an immediate and outright ban, while First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she was "highly sceptical" about the technique.

But the governing party will not have a majority of seats on any committee, therefore will have to seek consensus.

Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh said he was impressed by "how co-operative and collegiate this process has been".

MSPs prove this by unanimously backing the bureau motion.

No prizes, but kudos, for anyone who can name all fifteen committees. 

Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse says the SNP will be abstaining on the amendments that have sought to put fracking front and centre during this debate.

Mr Wheelhouse says the government will not take risks with the environment.

He says the government is deeply sceptical about fracking and the moratorium prevents any fracking taking place.

The minister says the people of Scotland will have the benefit of the most substantial body of scientific evidence when the final decision is made.   

Scottish Conservative MSP Peter Chapman, closing for his party, says he welcomes the land register.

Mr Chapman says ministers must focus on land use and not who owns it.

He says the opposition against fracking flies in the face of scientific evidence.

The Tory MSP says they would see us import shale gas that we have here at home. 

He says local authorities must be part of the decision making process, particularly in regards to planning for fracking.
