Parliamentary Bureau Motions

17:32

The next item of business is consideration of two Parliamentary Bureau motions. I call Jamie Hepburn, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, to move motions S7M-01097 on committee membership and S7M-01098 on substitution on committees.

Motions moved,

That the Parliament agrees that—

Ben Macpherson be appointed to replace Alyn Smith as a member of the Criminal Justice Committee

Steven Bonnar be appointed to replace David Linden as a member of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee.

That the Parliament agrees that Ben Macpherson be appointed to replace Steven Bonnar as the Scottish National Party substitute on the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee.

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