Good morning and welcome to the ninth meeting in 2025 of the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee. I remind members to ensure that their devices are on silent.
The first item on our agenda is stage 2 consideration of the Visitor Levy (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill. Unfortunately, we are not able to take this item of business this morning. It came to our attention yesterday that beginning stage 2 today would have been in breach of rule 9.5.3A of the Parliament’s standing orders. Under the rule, the minimum period that must elapse between the day on which stage 1 is completed and the day on which stage 2 starts is 12 sitting days. Stage 1 finished on 19 February and there have only been seven sitting days since then. Do members agree to defer the item to our next meeting?
Members indicated agreement.
I apologise to all those involved for the short notice of the change to our business.
