Duncan McNeil MP, Greenock and Inverclyde voted with the majority (Aye).

This looks like the vote on S1M-2632

The description in the bulletin on 2002-01-23 is:

*S1M-2632 Tommy Sheridan: Introduction of Progressive Water Tax-That the Parliament believes that water and sewerage services are essential services which should be publicly owned and democratically controlled for the benefit of all Scotland's citizens; further believes that water and sewerage service charges to domestic customers should be paid for by using an income-based personal tax which would be progressive, efficient and easily understood; therefore endorses the replacement of the current unfair water rate system for domestic customers with a new individual income-based water tax that would be fair and redistributive, while raising more revenue for Scotland's water and sewerage services, and notes that this new Water Tax would be collected by the Inland Revenue in Scotland on behalf of the Scottish water industry.
