The next item is consideration of Parliamentary Bureau motions S1M-511 and S1M-512, in the name of Tom McCabe, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau. We shall take them together. I ask Iain Smith to move the motions.
Motions moved,
That the Parliament agrees that Lewis Macdonald be appointed to the Education, Culture and Sport Committee.
That the Parliament agrees that The Scotland Act 1998 (Transitory and Transitional Provisions) (Appropriations) Amendment (Scotland) Order 2000 be approved.—[Iain Smith.]
I should also move motion S1M-513.
That is correct. There are three separate motions in the name of Tom McCabe, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau. It is unusual to take three together, but in the interests of time, we shall do so.
Motion moved,
That the Parliament agrees that the summer recess should begin on 10 July 2000 and end on 3 September 2000, the autumn recess should begin on 9 October 2000 and end on 22 October 2000 and the winter recess should begin on 21 December 2000 and end on 7 January 2001.— [Iain Smith.]
No one is indicating a wish to speak against any of the motions. I will put all three together. The question is, that motions S1M-511, S1M-512 and S1M-513 be agreed to.
Meeting suspended until 14:30.
On resuming—
On a point of order. Before lunch, half an hour was allowed for a ministerial statement and questions, starting at 12.20 pm. The statement lasted almost 13 minutes and 16 people wanted to speak. Will you ensure that, in future, ministerial statements are made when there is ample time for questions afterwards?
Thank you for that point of order. I have the matter in hand.
