Parliamentary Business Motions
The next item of business is consideration of two Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask Bruce Crawford to move motion S3M-7162, on suspension of standing orders, and S3M-7161, on the designation of a lead committee.
Motions moved,
That the Parliament agrees that, for the purpose of allowing up to 20 minutes to debate motion S3M-7154 on Thursday 7 October 2010, the second and third sentences of Rule 10.6.5 of Standing Orders be suspended.
That the Parliament agrees that the Equal Opportunities Committee be designated as lead Committee in consideration of the Forced Marriages etc. (Protection and Jurisdiction) (Scotland) Bill at Stage 1.—[Bruce Crawford.]
The questions on the motions will be put at decision time.
