Parliamentary Bureau Motion

The Presiding Officer (Tricia Marwick)

The next item of business is consideration of a Parliamentary Bureau motion. I ask Bruce Crawford to move motion S4M-01900, on the suspension and variation of standing orders.

Motion moved,

That the Parliament agrees that Rule 6.11(a)(i) be suspended for the purpose of consideration between 2 February 2012 and 29 June 2012 of any orders requiring the consent of the Parliament under section 9 of the Public Bodies Act 2011 and that the following alternative provision be substituted for that purpose—

“(i) subordinate legislation laid before the Parliament or requiring the consent of the Parliament under section 9 of the Public Bodies Act 2011;”—[Bruce Crawford.]

The question on the motion will be put at decision time.
