Motion moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the draft CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order 2010 (SI 2010/draft) be approved.—[Bruce Crawford.]

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

I also ask Bruce Crawford to move motion S3M-5866, on the designation of the lead committee for the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Bill.

Motion moved,

We have two further Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask Bruce Crawford to move motion S3M-5867, on days when the office of the clerk will be open, and motion S3M-5868, on parliamentary recess dates.
