Decision Time

There are two questions to be put as a result of today’s business. The first question is, that motion S6M-12468, in the name of Collette Stevenson, on behalf of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee, on addressing child poverty through parental employment, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament notes the conclusions and recommendations contained in the Social Justice and Social Security Committee's 11th Report, 2023 (Session 6), Addressing Child Poverty Through Parental Employment (SP Paper 476).

The final question is, that motion S6M-12479, in the name of Angela Constance, on the legislative consent motion on the Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Bill, which is United Kingdom legislation, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that the relevant provisions of the Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Bill, introduced in the House of Lords on 8 November 2023, relating to investigatory powers, so far as these matters fall within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, should be considered by the UK Parliament.

That concludes decision time.
