[The Deputy Presiding Officer opened the meeting at 09:30]
Good morning. Before we begin this morning's business, I shall comment further on a point of order that was raised yesterday by Duncan McNeil, on members leaving the chamber after they have spoken. The Presiding Officers wish to advise members that they monitor practice in that respect and encourage those who have spoken to remain in the chamber for at least the next two speeches. We monitored that closely yesterday and, although we found no cause for complaint against any individual, we will shortly write to business managers commending that good practice. I draw that to members' attention so that they are aware that the Presiding Officers are monitoring the situation.
