We're back tomorrow morning with the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee from 10am, until then have a peaceful evening. 

Deputy Presiding Officer Linda Fabiani adjourns the parliament.

Business Minister Paul Wheelhouse says the government understands RBS face difficult decisions but he accepts members do not feel there has been enough community engagement.

Mr Wheelhouse says the closure of a branch should be seen only as a last resort.

The minister says there appears to be no opportunity for customers to complain about a closure as it is presented, as highlighted by Jackie Baillie, as a fait accompli.

He says not everyone has access to the internet and face to face banking is still seen as essential by many customers.

Business Minister Paul Wheelhouse says it is important to note, as many have during the debate, that some of the branches closing are still busy.

"It is difficult to understand the decision behind it", he says.

Mr Wheelhouse says he does understand there is no plans for compulsory redundancy to the staff at these branches which is one positive.

Labour MSP Neil Findlay attacks RBS for providing only "corporate diktat".

Mr Findlay accuses the bank of poor management and says the public deserve far better.

He says RBS have a programme of closure and they are going to ram through the closures, saying the bank does not care.

Labour MSP Rhoda Grant says, in the Highlands and Islands, banks were having their operating hours reduced which caused problems as it is not always easy for people in these areas to access an alternative branch.

Ms Grant says the service cuts have been followed up with closure with absolutely no consideration for customers.

"These are the customers that bailed them out a few years ago", she says.

Ms Grant says the broadband is not always good enough in the Highlands and Islands to allow customers to use internet banking. 

She says it is time for the government to intervene to stop the closures.

SNP MSP Bob Doris thanks Iain Gray for this debate which alllows MSPs to express their concerns about RBS branch closures across Scotland.

Mr Doris expresses concerns about proposals for closure in his constituency of Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn.

He says he has had meetings with RBS in relation to proposed closures in Possilpark and Maryhill.

Labour MSP Jackie Baillie says many will remember the RBS adverts saying they support local communities.

Ms Baillie says she feels "bitter about that".

The Labour MSP says Alexandria residents were notified by letter that the branch was closing.

She says it is so short sighted as the Alexandria town centre is being regenerated.

Ms Baillie says this issue has united Labour and the SNP to petition RBS and ask them to think again.

Tory MSP Rachael Hamilton lambasts the "savage" cuts from RBS.

Ms Hamilton says banks have lost the plot and she urges RBS to rethink its decision. 

SNP MSP Bruce Crawford says this is about how the bank works and whether or not it can be profitable.

Mr Crawford says, as he understands it, RBS is owned mainly by the shareholders and little by the government. 

The SNP MSP says the Callander branch is one which is under threat of closure and the high street in this area has had its challenges.

He says this has an impact on the wider community. 

Mr Gray says the branch in Prestonpans has had queues outside the door so it is not a bank lacking in customers. 

The East Lothian MSP says the closure of the branch will not suit elderly and disabled customers. 

Mr Gray says the RBS Prestonpans branch is the last branch there and there will be no banks in the town if it closes.

The Labour MSP says we should guard the sustainability and viability of our small towns and a bank is crucial to that end.

"To lose the last bank in a community is a serious matter."

Labour MSP Iain Gray leads this evening's member's debate on the closure of RBS Prestonpans branch.

Here's his motion...

The voting reboot has failed and the question on the motion and amendments will now take place tomorrow.

Don't worry, you have not missed decision time the parliamentary voting system is undergoing the classic IT treatment: 

Switch off then switch on. 

Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh announces a reboot of the voting system to banish some gremlins.

Conservative MSP Liz Smith asks about the level of bursary support which she says is not as strong as the rest of the UK.

Mr Hepburn says he has already set out the £106m for college bursaries from the Scottish government.

The minister says the UK government is abolishing maintenance grants for tertiary education entirely whereas the SNP will be increasing the grant.

Mr Hepburn says the Tories come to the chamber and says students must pay tuition fees to widen access.

He says Scotland has the lowest student debt in the UK. 

Employability and Training Minister Jamie Hepburn says the government has a strong track record on colleges.

Mr Hepburn concedes the need to maintain part-time courses and he insists his government is doing so.

The SNP MSP also praises his party's record on the budget for further education support.

He says: "There is more to do in terms of expanding the reach of the college sector."

Mr Thomson says government decisions have had an impact on colleges and the positive destinations of young people.

The Tory MSP says Sir Iain Wood called for greater collaboration between schools, employers and colleges and universities.

He says a modest graduate contribution could help widen access to universities. 

Mr Thomson also says college cuts should be reversed immediately.
