Parliamentary Bureau Motions
The next item of business is consideration of three Parliamentary Bureau motions. I call Bruce Crawford to move motion S4M-03185, on approval of a Scottish statutory instrument, and motions S4M-03186 and S4M-03187, both on the suspension and variation of the standing orders.
Motions moved,
That the Parliament agrees that the Public Appointments and Public Bodies etc. (Scotland) Act 2003 (Treatment of Office or Body as Specified Authority) Order 2012 [draft] be approved.
That the Parliament agrees that Rule 12.3.3A of Standing Orders be suspended for the purpose of allowing the Welfare Reform Committee to meet, if necessary, on the afternoon of Wednesday 13 June 2012 to consider the Welfare Reform (Further Provision) (Scotland) Bill at stage 2.
That the Parliament agrees that, for the purpose of allowing the Freedom of Information (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill to be referred to the Finance Committee as lead committee, Rule 6.6.1(c) be suspended and replaced with:
“(c) Budget Bills and the Bill introduced as the Freedom of Information (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill (SP Bill 14, Session 4)”
until the Bill is passed, falls or is withdrawn.—[Bruce Crawford.]
The questions on the motions will be put at decision time.
