Parliamentary Bureau Motions

The next item of business is consideration of a Parliamentary Bureau motion. I ask Bruce Crawford to move motion S3M-3071, on the designation of a lead committee.

Motion moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee be designated as the lead committee, and that the Rural Affairs and Environment Committee be designated as secondary committee, in consideration of the Climate Change (Scotland) Bill at Stage 1.—[Bruce Crawford.]

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

The next item of business is consideration of two Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask Bruce Crawford to move motions S3M-3070 and S3M-3072, on the approval of Scottish statutory instruments.

Motions moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the draft Protection of Charities Assets (Exemption) and the Charity Test (Specified Bodies) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2008 be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the draft Fundable Bodies (Scotland) Order 2008 be approved.—[Bruce Crawford.]

The questions on those motions will also be put at decision time.

Before we come to decision time, I am sure that the chamber will wish to welcome the Speaker, or President, of the Assembly of Macedonia and the Macedonian ambassador to the United Kingdom, who have joined us in the Presiding Officer's gallery. [Applause.]
