The next item of business is consideration of business motion S2M-5666, in the name of Margaret Curran, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, setting out a timetable for stage 3 consideration of the Aquaculture and Fisheries (Scotland) Bill. I invite any member who wishes to speak against the motion to press their request-to-speak button now.
Motion moved,
That the Parliament agrees that, during Stage 3 of the Aquaculture and Fisheries (Scotland) Bill, debate on groups of amendments shall, subject to Rule 9.8.4A, be brought to a conclusion by the time limit indicated, each time limit being calculated from when the Stage begins and excluding any periods when other business is under consideration or when a meeting of the Parliament is suspended (other than a suspension following the first division in the Stage being called) or otherwise not in progress:
Groups 1 and 2: 35 minutes
Groups 3 and 4: 1 hour 5 minutes
Groups 5, 6 and 7: 1 hour 20 minutes.—[Ms Margaret Curran.]
Two members wish to speak against the motion. Do they really mean to do so?
No, Presiding Officer. I pressed my request-to-speak button earlier, when trying to get in during question time.
I understand. In fact, no members now wish to speak against the motion.
Motion agreed to.
