Motion moved,
That the Parliament agrees that the relevant provisions of the Water Bill, introduced in the House of Commons on 27 June 2013, relating to the treatment of applications for a water supply or sewerage services licence or in connection with safeguarding the movement of fish through the border River Esk, 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.—[Margaret Burgess.]
