Decision Time
There are four questions to be put as a result of today’s business.

Members: No.
There will be a division.

Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament supports the Scottish Government’s “all-Government, all-Scotland” approach at the centre of Scotland’s Youth Employment Strategy, which has had a positive impact on the challenge of youth unemployment; further welcomes the launch of the Make Young People Your Business campaign; recognises that this approach is vital in the development of Scotland’s young workforce; agrees that all MSPs have a role to play in their constituencies to actively encourage local employers and other partners to do more, and welcomes the decrease in youth unemployment by 25,000 seen in the December 2012 labour market statistics.
The third question is, that motion S4M-05336, in the name of Joe FitzPatrick, on committee membership, be agreed to.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament agrees that Bob Doris be appointed to replace Sandra White as a member of the Public Audit Committee.

Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament agrees that—
James Dornan be appointed to replace Bob Doris as the Scottish National Party substitute on the Equal Opportunities Committee;
