Enterprise Bill

The Presiding Officer (Tricia Marwick)

The next item of business is consideration of motion S4M-15577, in the name of John Swinney, on the legislative consent motion on the Enterprise Bill, which is United Kingdom legislation.

Motion moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the relevant provisions of the Enterprise Bill, introduced in the House of Lords on 16 September 2015, relating to measures on the creation of a Small Business Commissioner and capping public sector exit payments, so far as these matters fall within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament or alter the executive competence of the Scottish Ministers, should be considered by the UK Parliament.—[John Swinney.]

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